A long brass-wire brush with an integrated steel scraper for clearing ash and char off a hot oven deck between bakes.
About the HENDI Oven Cleaning Brush
Firing an oven leaves ash and char on the deck, and a purpose-made brush clears it between bakes. This HENDI brush is a 93 cm brass-wire head with an integrated steel scraper on a removable wooden handle.
Brass bristles are stiff enough to sweep a hot deck but softer than steel, so they are gentler on the stone. The long handle keeps your hand out of a live oven, and the scraper lifts stuck-on bits the bristles miss.

Common questions
How do you clean a pizza oven stone?
While the oven is still warm, sweep ash and loose char off the deck with a brass-bristle oven brush, and lift stuck-on bits with the scraper. Do not use soap or water on a hot stone; the heat of the next firing burns off most residue. A long handle keeps your hand clear.
Do I need an oven brush for an electric pizza oven?
Less so. Electric ovens produce no ash, so a quick wipe once cool usually suffices. A brass brush and scraper earn their place with wood and gas ovens, where each firing leaves ash and char on the deck that is easiest to clear while warm.
