Don’t Let a Dirty Grill Yuck Your Yum! These Grill Cleaning Supplies Will Save Dinner
Nowhere in the world has better grilling weather than Southern California. Beautiful year-round weather with clear skies means that our grills see a lot of love. But that love costs our grills dearly, nd if we don't take care of them, that salty sea air we love so much will be their downfall.
Not to worry, the grill service experts at Southern California Grill Cleaning are here to share the products that we believe will make the biggest difference in your DIY grill cleaning journey. Read on to see what supplies you need to renew your outdoor barbeque.
Easy-Off Degreaser
If you don’t have a commercial grade steamer laying around in your garage, then Easy-Off Degreaser is as close as you’re going to get. While there are many cleaning products on the market, none of them quite compare. Even our technicians swear by it. Save yourself the elbow grease for another project and get yourself a bottle or two of Easy-Off.
Wet/Dry Vac
See all that grease and grime in your grill? If you want it gone, it has to go somewhere. The easiest (and cleanest) way to do that is going to require taking some pieces out. Our technicians remove the grates, burners, heat trays, dividers, etc during our deep cleaning process. Even if you don’t plan on taking everything out, you’re almost certainly going to find a loose screw or two.
Grill Brush/Steel Wool
The world has moved past bristle brushes and it’s time you do too. Nothing ruins a meal quite like a steel bristle to the throat and that’s precisely what you are risking by using a bristle brush on your grill. There are plenty of alternatives available, such as the brush featured above which can be used to activate a steam effect to help melt away the greasy gunk off your grill grates.
If there is only a single product you invest in, a grill brush is high on the list.
Drop Cloth/Tarp
All that grease has to go somewhere and some of it is going to end up on the floor. Grill cleaning is a messy job. That's why our technicians lay down protective paper or plastic in the area surrounding your grill.
A single stray drop of grease can quickly cover your entire deck in grimy footsteps
Screwdriver
A set of basic tools doesn’t hurt, but you will likely need a screwdriver if you want to get at the hard to reach areas in the firebox. (A cordless drill will save you the time and carpal tunnel)
