Gather your supplies
Before you get started on your BBQ cleaning, make sure you have everything you need. You'll need a stiff-bristled brush, a scraper, some soapy water and a bucket. You might also want to grab some gloves and a face mask as cleaning a BBQ can be a bit of a dirty job.
-
Remove the grates
Start by removing the grates from your BBQ. This will give you better access to the burners and other parts that require cleaning. Use a wire brush to scrape off any large pieces of food or debris that are stuck to the grates. If you have a gas BBQ, be sure to turn off the gas before removing the grates.
- Clean the burners
Next use a scraper to remove any build-up from the burners. If you have a gas BBQ, be sure to check for any blockages in the burners and clear them out if necessary. This will help ensure your BBQ runs smoothly and efficiently.
-
Wipe down the interior
Using a wire brush, scrape any food debris and grease from the interior of the BBQ. You can use a bucket of warm soapy water to wipe down the interior paying special attention to the bottom and sides. Be sure to remove any ash or soot that has accumulated in the bottom of the BBQ.
-
Clean the exterior
Wipe down the exterior of the BBQ with a rag or paper towel paying special attention to the handles and knobs. Use warm soapy water if necessary. You can also use a degreaser for tougher stains.
-
Reassemble and test
Once everything is clean and dry, reassemble the BBQ by replacing the burners and grates. Turn the gas back on and light the BBQ to ensure it’s working properly.
