By cleaning your grill you can prevent a serious grease fire.

Grill Cleaning Steps

Getting your grill clean will not only make it look great on your deck in  Plumstead Township, PA but will also improve its longevity. The food you cook releases grease into the belly of your grill and leaves food bits and burnt particles on the grate. This can be a hazard and can also affect the taste of the next meal you cook on it. Here is how you can complete your grill cleaning in 3 easy steps.

1. Gather Your Supplies
You need the proper tools to get this job done. Here are the supplies you need for your grill cleaning:

• Gloves
  
• Grill brush
  
• Paper towels
  
• Bucket
  
• Dish soap
  
  

Fill your bucket with very hot water and several drops of dish soap. Be sure to use a grease-fighting soap for better results.

2. Scrub the Grate and Belly
After donning your gloves, use the grill brush to thoroughly scrub your grill's grate. If there are stubborn bits you may want to soak this piece in hot, soapy water while you complete the rest of your grill maintenance. Remove and clean any other drip pans or accessories in your grill. Use your brush to clean the bottom of your grill thoroughly. Be sure to remove any debris. Gently brush your burner tubes and make sure your gas ports are open and clean. Dry everything and put the parts back inside.

3. Wipe Down the Outside
Once the inside is clean, you'll want to use your soapy water to thoroughly wipe down the outside of your grill. Grease can splatter while you cook and even if you cover your grill, some dirt and debris may still get on it. Be sure to rinse away any soap and dry your grill completely before re-covering it.
Regular grill cleaning can help keep your food tasting great. It can also prevent a serious grease fire that requires a professional fire damage assessment. Follow these easy steps to get the job done.
