Cleaning a Gas Grill
Usually, gas grills can be cleaned out by burning off extra fallen food and grease and then rubbing everything else off the burners. But every 4 to 5 months you should be doing a deep clean on them because they contain a lot of different parts, that are usually tough to clean. Each piece needs to be taken out and cleaned correctly using dishwashing soap or another type of grill cleaner. Here are some steps for how to clean your grill.
Step #1
Open the lid and remove the grill grate and place in a large bucket full of hot steamy water, using dishwashing soap or another type of grill cleaner begin to scrub off hard fats and grime.
Step #2

Step #3
Remove the diffuser plates from the grill and use a big metal spatula to scrape off any fats or grease and then use a scrubber to wash off the rest.
