Cleaning & Maintenance

Why You Need Grill Cleaner

Food drippings can be coercive and build up on grill parts over time, most noticeably on the grill grates.  Grills are also exposed to the elements; going through the changing temperatures of the seasons can wear down a grill. During rough storms, water can find its way into even the covered parts of the grill. During wind storms, dirt and other debris can pelt the grill and get clogged in important grill parts. The venturi tubes are particularly susceptible to dirt and insects clogging the small holes in the tube that allows air to mix with gas in gas grills. In some cases, if they get clogged, the tubes can even explode, causing a very dangerous situation. Grill cleaning not only keeps your grill looking good, but it can keep you safe as well.

Different kinds of Grill Cleaners

Cleaning and maintenance is an ongoing process that requires you to clean in the short term as well as in the long term. Below are some common grill cleaning supplies and their uses that can help you keep your grill like new.

• Brushes: Wire brushes are commonly used to wipe down grills every time someone uses the grill. This is good practice, but most people don't know that it is actually better to wipe down the grill after you are done grilling, not just before your next grilling. Food drippings and grease are more easily cleaned while the grill grates are still warm.  

• Degreasers: These spray-on substances are used to remove built up grease and food drippings from the firebox of the grill. Use this grill cleaner periodically. The sprays come in environmentally friendly versions for conscientious grillers. We prefer to only use the degreaser on the inside firebox with all parts removed. 

• Polishers: Polishers are used on stainless steel grills for cleaning and renewing that stainless shine. 

• Paints: When your grill gets chipped or the paint falls off from wear and tear, restore the finish with spray-on paints. These paints are made especially for the grill's metal exterior.
