Perhaps the most ignored major appliance in the household is the outdoor BBQ Grill. BBQ Cleaning and Grill Cleaning fueled by propane or natural gas, we count on it to provide us with memorable meals for our family and friends. We count on it to be ready to cook our kabob’s and steaks, but its just so easy to forget that it needs cleaning too. It’s so easy to walk away from that hot grill and go inside and eat your meal with your family and friends, socialize and forget there is a dirty grill waiting for you. They say strike when the iron is hot, and that goes for your grill too. It’s best to clean it 20-30 minutes after your finished grilling and it has cooled down but is still warm. This ensures that the grease and fat deposits have not solidified and are easier to clean. Here is The OC Grill cleaner’s top 10 tips to maintain your Barbecue Grill.
- Use a wire (or stiff nylon) brush to brush off your food remnants after cooking.
- Once a month or every five BBQ sessions, wash your grill grates with Dawn soap in the sink.
- Check the drip tray to ensure it is not overflowing with grease.
- Check your burners for blue flames (desired), and note if orange flames (not desired).
- Wipe exterior of grill and shelf’s with dawn soap and water.
- Use Micro-Fiber towels to wipe the BBQ grill exterior – don’t use anything that can scratch it (abrasive).
- Cover your BBQ Grill with a quality outdoor BBQ Cover.
- Always look for loose nuts and bolts on the ground near the Barbecue.
