Why You Need to Clean Your Grill

The key to a long lasting grill is regular grill maintenance.  Ever November I like to winterize my grill.  This involves getting it cleaned up after a long summer of using it, checking for potential problems and getting it ready to be stored away until the warmer months.

Even if you live in a warmer climate or if you use your grill all year long, you will want to do some maintenance on the grill at least once per year or anytime you notice it getting grimy.

What is the Best Grill Cleaner

There are so many types of grill cleaner available today.  This is my favorite grill cleaner.  I use it for so many cleaning tasks because I can always count on it to the get the job done.  Be careful of using chemicals that are too harsh.  You don’t want to ruin the finish on the cast iron grates (if you have them).

Grill Accessories to Make Cleaning Easy

One thing that will make cleaning your grill easier, is having the right tools for the job on hand.  I keep all of my grill cleaning accessories and tools in a container like this one stored in garage.  This way, everything is one spot and easy to find.

To clean your grill, your going to need the following grill accessories:

• Grill Brush
• Microfiber cleaning cloth
• Stainless Steel Cleaner
