Clean Your Barbecue Grill

Time to clean the barbecue grill? Don't waste money on special cleaners. Just look to household products.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • baking soda
  • aluminum foil
  • oven cleaner
  • cooking spray
  • garbage bags
  1. Step 1

    Need to clean the grill? Take baking soda and make a paste with water. Apply with a wire brush. Wipe it clean and you are ready to cook!

  2. Step 2

    Is the grill really dirty? Have some oven cleaner? Spray the grill with oven cleaner and then place in a trash bag and close. Set it out in the sun for a few hours, take out and then rinse with a hose. Or, if you need to clean your oven anyways, place the grill in the oven.

  3. Step 3

    Aluminum foil can be a great cleaner too. After cooking, place a sheet of foil on the grill and close the lid. When the grill is cool, pull off the foil, crumble into a ball, and finish cleaning the grill.

  4. Step 4
     

    Got some cooking spray? I learned this a long time ago. Spray the grill before cooking and there will be less to clean up.

  5. Step 5

    Why spend money on grill covers? Take a large leaf garbage bag and cover the grill. Unless, of course, you have one of those fancy, mega sized grills!
