Here's the Best Way to Clean a Grill


Cleaning a grill is an essential part of maintaining its performance and ensuring delicious, safe meals.


Regular cleaning helps prevent buildup of grease and food residue, which can cause flare-ups and affect the taste of your food.


Plus, a clean grill simply looks better and can extend the lifespan of your equipment. 


However, let's face it, after a fantastic cookout, cleaning the grill can feel like the ultimate chore. 


We've all been there –  eyes glazed over, spatula in hand, scraping at those stubborn bits of burnt-on food.


So, how can you make this task less daunting and more effective? 


Fear not, grilling enthusiasts!


We've got your back (and your grill) with a surefire method to get that grill sparkling clean, ready for your next barbecue adventure.



Let's dive right in!


Step 1: Pre-Heat and Scrape


First things first, safety!


Make sure your grill is cool enough to touch comfortably –  not stone cold, but not so hot you'll burn yourself. 


We recommend preheating the grill on medium heat for about 5 minutes.


This loosens up any stuck-on food particles, making them easier to remove.


Now, here's where our trusty Easy Function Wood Grill Scraper comes in.


This eco-friendly tool is perfect for routine cleaning after grilling.


The scalloped blade conforms to the shape of your grates, reaching those tricky corners with ease.


Plus, it's made from pine wood with a lifetime warranty, so you know it's built to last.



Step 2: Deep Clean with a Brush


For a more thorough clean, especially after a heavy grilling session, you'll need a good grill brush.


Our 3 in 1 Grill Brush and Scraper is a fantastic option.


It features a three-in-one design with a wire brush for deep cleaning, a stainless steel scraper for stubborn gunk, and an ergonomic handle for comfortable use.


Plus, our proprietary eZcleanTM technology allows for easy bristle replacement, ensuring top-notch cleaning power for years to come.


We even offer some sweet deals – buy 2 and get 10% off with code GOGRILL2, or stock up with 3 brushes and get 15% off with code GOGRILL3.


For the ultimate savings, grab 4 brushes and score 20% off with code GOGRILL4!



Step 3: Don't Forget the Bristle-Free Option!


Looking for a bristle-free alternative?


We hear you!


We also offer two fantastic Easy Function Grill & BBQ Cleaning Brushes. 


These innovative brushes feature a coiled mesh design that tackles grime effectively, while being completely bristle-free.


This eliminates the worry of stray bristles accidentally ending up on your food.


Plus, the long ergonomic handle keeps your hands a safe distance from the heat.


One option even features a built-in scraper for those extra-stubborn bits.



Step 4: Clean the Rest


Now that your grates are sparkling, don't forget the rest of your grill!


For porcelain or stainless steel grills, a damp cloth with some soapy water will do the trick.


For tougher grime, you can use a grill-specific cleaner (check out our selection on the Easy Function website!).



Remember to rinse everything thoroughly with clean water and dry completely before storing your grill.


Bonus Tip: Post-Grill Cleaning Hack


Here's a little secret from the Behind the Grill team: after preheating your grill for cleaning, toss a halved onion onto the grates.

As the onion cooks, it releases natural enzymes that help loosen stuck-on food particles, making scrubbing a breeze.


Just be sure to remove the onion before it burns completely!


Keeping Your Grill Clean Makes All the Difference


By following these simple steps and using the right tools (like our awesome selection at Behind the Grill!), you can ensure your grill stays clean and ready to create delicious meals for years to come.


Remember, a clean grill not only looks good, but it also helps prevent rust and ensures your food cooks evenly.


So fire up the grill with confidence, grill masters!


We've got your back (and your grill) every step of the way.


Happy grilling!
