Gas Grills

  1. Spot Clean: After each use.
    • Crank your grill up to high. Leave on for 15 minutes to burn excess food off the grates.
    • Let the grill cool before cleaning grill grates. Then use a long-handled grill brush and other grill cleaning tools to clean off the grates and wipe down the exterior with a wet soapy rag.
  2. Deep Clean: Once per season.
    • Remove the metal sheet burner protectors under the grates and soak them in a bucket soapy water. Dish soap is fine. If you don’t have a bucket, then a good garden hose cleaning will do.
    • Wipe grime and gunk from the burners with an ex-partner’s t-shirt, or an old sponge.
    • Scrub the inside walls of your grill with steel wool and soapy water.

Charcoal Grill

Charcoal Grills

  1. Clean Grill Grates: After Each Use
    • Remove your food, eat, but leave the grill active so it can cook off grease and debris from the grill grates.
    • 15 minutes later or after you’re done eating, scrape off the hot grates with a grill brush.
  2. Grease The Grates: After Each Use
    • Grease the grates after cooking to help prevent rusting, sticking and make future cleaning easier.
    • Sprinkle a paper towel with vegetable or olive oil.
    • If the grill is still hot, then use BBQ tongs to hold the paper towel.
  3. Dispose Of Ashes: After Each Use
    • Allow the grill and ashes to cool completely.
    • Dispose of them properly. Improperly disposed of ashes can start a fire or attract wild animals.

NERD NOTE: The 36th president of the United States, Lyndon B. Johnson, was the first US President to host a barbecue at the White House that included Texas-style barbecued ribs on the menu.

Stainless Steel Grills

  1. Clean Stains:
    • Using a stainless steel cleaning spray with stainless steel wipes is effective against light stains.
    • Remember to clean with the grain for the best results.
  2. Remove Smoke Stains:
    • Soak a paper towel with Calcium, Lime and Rust Remover, and let it sit on the stained area for at least 5 minutes.
    • Wipe the smoke stain with a fresh paper towel and rinse with water.
    • Repeat as needed to remove the stain completely.
  3. Buff Out Scratches:
    • Apply stainless steel polish with the grain to remove scratches and discoloration.

Grill Cleaning Tools

Depending on your grill, there are a variety of cleaners and tools that you can use to clean your grill. Here are a few suggestions:

  • grill cleaning brush
  • grill cleaning stone
  • grill cleaning tool
  • grill cleaning spray

Cleaning A Grill Is Protecting Your Investment

Cleaning a grill takes a little time but it’s worth it. Grills aren’t cheap. The average grill cost between $300-800. But some can even cost several thousand dollars. Regular grill cleaning and maintenance will help extend your grill’s lifespan and protect your investment. Happy BBQing!
