Steps For Grill Cleaning

With summer in Murfreesboro, TN it’s impossible to keep your mind off delicious grilled food. With use, the grill will build up residue. It needs proper maintenance to keep your cooking safe from fire and your food delicious with flavor. Knowing the steps for grill cleaning will protect your grill, food and home.

1. Gather the Necessary Cleanup Items

For this procedure, you will need gloves, a specialty grilling brush, a trash can, a bucket of hot, soapy water, paper towels and aluminum foil.

2. Prepare the Grill for Cleaning

All dials should be inspected to make sure they are off. If the grill is propane, the tank needs to be disconnected before grill cleaning. You should glove up before opening the grill.

Remove the grates and soak them in a bucket of soapy, hot water. After removing the grates, place aluminum foil over the exposed components for their protection.

3. Brush the Walls

Using the grill brush, scrub the walls of the grill’s interior. Once you finish scrubbing, wipe the walls with a moist paper towel. This step removes dangerous buildup that could cause a grease fire.

4. Drop the Drip Pan in With the Grate After Emptying

Remove the drip pan next. After it has been turned over and emptied into a trash can, put it in the bucket with the grates.

5. Finish Cleaning the Soaked Components

After removing all grates and the drip pan from the bucket, scrub them with the brush before rinsing them off with a hose.

6. Remove the Foil and Reassemble the Grill

The foil is no longer needed and should be removed. Now, use the grill brush to dust the grill elements lightly. Once you are done brushing, return the pan and grates to their original spots. The exterior can be wiped with stainless steel wipes or soapy water if a clean look is desired.

Your home’s safety is worth an occasional grill cleaning. In the event of a grill fire, the damage can be remedied by a professional fire restoration company. Regular grill maintenance, however, reduces the likelihood of a fire ruining your summer backyard gatherings.
