Easy Tips to Clean Your Grill
Summer is finally here! The kids are out of school and into the pool! It is time for beach trips, fireworks, amusement parks, cotton candy, funnel cakes, carnivals, tubing, hiking, the list could go on and on. What does summer mean to you? Perhaps long summer nights spent outside around the bonfire, camping, or catching lighting bugs. One of the most iconic staples of the season is being able to break out the grill! Chicken, steaks and burgers, oh my! Before you can host your first block party for the neighborhood, you need to make sure that your grill is cleaned properly and ready for another season. Note, these steps are for gas grills.
- Ensure the gas it turned off and the grill is cool to the touch. Gloves are recommended but optional.
- Removes the grates and place them in hot soapy water to soak, dishwashing detergent works well too.
- Using a strong wire brush, scrub the underside of your grill hood and all interior surfaces as best you can. Once finished, wipe down with a hot, damp rag.
- Remove the grease drip pan from underneath your grill and dispose of contents into a trash can. Place entire drip pan into a container to soak with hot, soapy water.
- Grab your grates now and scrub them off with the wire brush. Rinse them well and set back into place.
- Remove your drip pan and repeat the scrubbing process. Drain your dirty water, replace the drip pan.
- Inspect and clean the cabinet where your propane tank sits. Debris and bugs can accumulate here during the winter months.
- Depending on the type of material your grill is made of wipe down the exterior with a rag and window cleaner or a stainless-steel cleaner.
For simpler upkeep of your grill be sure to clean the grates while they are still warm after you finish using it each time. Also, do not forget about replacing or emptying the drip pan often to avoid grease fires! Now that your grill is clean and ready for the summertime, have you thought about your home?
