How to Clean a Natural Gas Grill

Cleaning a natural gas grill isn’t one of the most fun things to do. However, it isn’t the hardest thing to do. All you’ll need is a bit of time, soap, water and a brush. After a little scrubbing, you’ll be ready for your next barbecue. 

1.
Heat the grill for ten minutes. This will make any food residue easier to clean off.

2.
Use an old cloth or paper towel to wipe off any grease after the grill has cooled down.

3.
Remove food residue on the grate using a brass-bristle brush. If the grate is hard to clean, use hot, soapy water and continue to scrub with the brass-bristle brush. The grate may need to be scrubbed a little longer if the grill hasn't been used or cleaned in a while.

4.
Clean the natural gas opening with a water and soap mixture. When cleaning the openings make sure not to make them any larger than they already are.

5.
Clean the lid and the inside box using water and soap. You want to use a nylon scrubber when doing this. Once you have cleaned the lid and the inside box, rinse thoroughly with clean water.

6.
Take out the bottom tray where the drippings fall and clean it with hot water and soap. Afterwards, rinse and return to its respective place.

7.
Use a cloth to clean the outside of the grill using soap and water. To avoid scratching the exterior, you want to scrub going with the grain. After cleaning, rinse off the surface.
