    The Best Way To Clean Your Grill

    By Stacy 109 Comments

    I don't know about you, but as soon as the temperatures hit about 60 degrees, we like to pull out the grill. After getting snow, and then torrential downpour for a few days, the sun finally peeked out long enough for grilling Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, we didn't clean the grill after our last use in the Fall so it not only had dust on the outside, but the inside was disgusting. Not a huge deal though because I have a secret weapon! I'm going to tell you the best way to clean your grill.

     

    The best way to clean your grill

     

    Please tell me we are not the only ones who sometimes forget to clean the grill!

     

     

    It is pretty simple. We used a steamer! I have a SteamMachine for inside and I have the AutoRight SteamMachine for outside jobs. Since the grill is Shane's domain, he cleaned it up and grilled the kabobs. He used the metal scrub brush attachment and it worked like a charm.

     

    The Best Way To Clean Your Grill

     

    Meanwhile inside, I was making the kabobs. These are our favorite things to put on kabobs (chicken & beef chunks, red & green peppers, onions, pineapple, and small potatoes).

    I like to brush on some BBQ sauce, especially with the chicken and pineapple! The other sauce I put on is made up of Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and rosemary. It is awesome on the chicken and potatoes!

     

     

    Once the grill was cleaned and oiled, we were ready to cook up the kabobs.

     

     

    HomeRight is offering up one Autoright SteamMachine! We also love using it for our vehicles. You can read more about how we cleaned up Shane's commuter car here. Enter below using the Rafflecopter widget.

      I am always arguing with my husband about the right way to clean our grill. He always wants to use those nasty wire brushes and doesn't believe me when I tell him pieces can get caught in your food! This is definitely a great solution!

      Salmon is my favorite thing to grill. When I grill the salmon, I use wood chips. Oh, the aroma.

      Hello,
      We have forgotten to clean our grill as well! We cook out a lot, my husband is the grillmaster here lol and his specialty is chicken wings. They are the most requested when having friends over for dinner. Love to grill!
