Cleaning the BBQ Grill
You should make sure the BBQ grill is completely cold before you start to clean. The first step is to use the wire brush and remove any food on all the surfaces. Do this every time you use the grill as built up food will be harder to remove.
Baking soda can be used to rub down and parts that you cannot use the wire brush on such as knobs and handles. This will help to remove any left over food and stains and will also give your BBQ grill a shine. Aluminium foil is also good for removing the last traces of debris by gently rubbing surfaces with the foil.
Nest clean the racks with the wire brush then wash with dish soap. The steel wool can be used for any stubborn baked on food. Rinse off carefully before returning the racks to the grill.
Finally spray the surfaces with the spray cooking oil to prevent rusting. Never do this unless the BBQ is completely cold as spraying oil on a hot surface is dangerous.
