Cleaning your Barbecue
If you are wondering how to clean your barbecue for summer, there are some things you need to do. Stainless steel grills need to be cleaned every few months, which can be time-consuming. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to keep it looking new this year. Here are a few tips. First, remember to use gloves while cleaning your barbecue. When cleaning stainless steel, you should avoid using paper towels and use a microfiber towel instead. Also, it's a good idea to use a special stainless steel cleaner, which you can find in any hardware store. If you're using a thermoset plastic table, you should use a degreaser to remove any grease or grime.
Leftover Food
You should never leave any leftover food on a barbecue for days on end. It will attract moisture and be difficult to remove later. If you're cleaning a barbecue made of stainless steel, you should use a specialist cleaning spray. If you're worried about the rust, you can soak utensils in coffee. After this, they will shine and any leftover food should slide off. After soaking your barbecue in the liquid, you should wipe it down with a cloth.
Stainless Steel
If you're cleaning a stainless steel barbecue, you should use washing-up liquid, warm water, and a dry cloth. If your barbecue is made of other metals, you can use a specialist polishing spray. To make the stainless steel finish look shiny, you can add a coat of mineral oil or baby oil to its base. By following these steps, you'll have a shiny and gleaming barbecue ready for the summer season.
Baking Soda
You can also scrub the grill using a sponge. Baking soda paste is an effective way to get rid of stubborn stains. After applying the baking soda paste to the grill, you need to leave it for 15 minutes to work its magic. If you want to keep the barbecue clean for longer, you can add some vinegar to it. The acid in the baking soda will help break down any baked-on food and grease.
Below the Surface
You can also use a sponge to scrub the surface of your barbecue. You can use it to scrub stubborn stains or use a baking soda paste to remove baked-on food. The baking soda paste should be left on your BBQ for at least 15 minutes. After that, you should add vinegar to it to get rid of tough grease and baked-on food bits. For more effective results, you should also apply the baking soda paste after the grill has been cleaned.
Ready to Cook
Once you've brushed the surface of your barbecue, you can clean the hood by using hot water and a scour pad. If your grill has any ash, you should first remove it with a shop vac. Then, you should clean the grates using dish soap and a scour pad. You can also use a degreaser to clean grease.
