The weather is getting warmer and summer is just around the corner— that means it’s time to dust off the outdoor furniture and get grilling in Greenville, NC. Though when it comes to grilling, you need a solid plan for cleaning it up. To keep using and loving your propane gas grill, you need to keep it impeccably cleaned and maintained. For that, a cleaning routine is essential. With that in mind, here are 3 simple tips from our team to clean any grill.
1. Start Off By Cooling Down
Before you do anything, it’s important that you give it time to cool by waiting a minute or so. While a little heat can help clean a little, you want to make sure you don’t hurt yourself in any way.
2. Give Tough-to-Clean Items a Good Soak
Once it all cools down, you can get started on the grill. Remove the grates and plates while wearing gloves and soak them in hot water. After waiting about 8 minutes, lean the soaked grates and plates against the wall, scrub them, then rinse them down with a hose.
3. Scrub, Scrub, Scrub
While things are soaking, it’s a great time to get scrubbing with your grill brush. Use the grill brush to scrubbing all the inside elements. In addition, it’s a great idea to loosen cover heating elements with foil while you scrub the hood.
What Else Should You Do?
In addition to the tips above, it’s important to remember to do all the following:
- Put all grates, plates, and other elements back in their place
- If your propane gas grill has a cabinet, sweep it out to get leaves and debris
- Use stainless still cleaning wipes or a cotton cloth with soap water to wipe down the exterior of your grill
By following these tips, you’ll have a perfectly clean grill in no time. If you’re interested in a new grill or outdoor furniture to complement it in Greenville, NC, don’t hesitate to contact us.
