A device for cleaning a tip of a furnace burner including a support tube of axis X intended to pass through the burner and where the support tube includes a metal cable connected at one of its ends to a scraper and at the other end to a system for setting and maintaining the position of the scraper, where the scraper is articulated on the support tube between a first position aligned with the axis X in the continuation of the support tube and a second position perpendicular to the axis X, where the scraper has a chamfered part on its profile and where the support tube is connected to a rotation means for rotating the entire whole device in rotation. It can be set in place and manipulated from the rear of the burner, thereby ensuring a good level of safety for interventions, such that a rotational and/or translational movement about the tip of the burner allows the concretions to be cleaned off effectively whatever their nature (shape, hardness, etc.) and their position.
