PRODUCTS TO CLEAN YOUR BBQ ISLAND FOR SPRING
Because we’re all avoiding social situations and staying at home, now is a great time to spring clean your BBQ island and grill.
BBQ is delicious, and the flavors and aromas are intoxicating, but cleanup is never enjoyable. However, it is equally crucial to maintain your BBQ grill clean in order to maximize its lifespan. If you can do this without resorting to harmful ammonia or other costly alternatives, all the better.
Aside from using typical natural components that you may find in your house (and, as an added plus, you won’t have to travel to the shop to purchase these items! ), there are other environmentally responsible methods to clean your BBQ island.
So let’s get down to business and spring clean your BBQ island the 100 percent natural manner.
Making Use of Citrus Peels
The use of citrus peels as a cleaning for your BBQ island is one of the most natural methods to clean your BBQ island. However, this process is the most time-consuming and effective way of creating a natural cleaning solution. As many citrus fruit peels as possible should be gathered. You may use the peels of citrus fruits such as oranges, limes, lemons, and others. We can easily produce this BBQ cleaner in our own homes utilizing everyday household items and ingredients.
To begin, prepare a glass mason jar with a tight-fitting cover in which to store the citrus peels. Make sure you just fill the jar two-thirds of the way. Then, using an air bubble remover, eliminate any bubbles that may have formed in the vinegar before filling the jar with it. If the peels aren’t completely soaked in the vinegar, add a little additional vinegar.
Keep this concentrated solution in the refrigerator for 2-6 weeks since the longer the citrus vinegar is allowed to stay, the stronger the cleaner will be. Finally, drain the liquid from the peels into another jar or spray bottle using a small sieve to collect the juice.
Now, spray the concentrated solution over the greasy and soiled grills and scrub them with your standard dishwashing scour to remove the residue.
Using the ash residues for cleaning
Because it is a result of the barbecuing process, using ash to clean your BBQ grill is one of the most natural methods to clean your BBQ grill. To begin, collect the ash from the BBQ deposits below and dump it into a large mixing basin. Combine the ash with a little amount of water. Gently combine the ingredients until you get a thick ash paste. Now, using a brush, apply the paste to the grills as well as the nooks and crannies of the grill where there is a lot of staining. Scrubbing may be accomplished using a standard scrub that you may already have on hand for dishwashing utensils.
Vinegar is used for cleaning.
There are various natural methods to clean your BBQ grill, and the best ones are the ones that do not need the use of a lot of ingredients. All you need is aluminum foil, white vinegar, two lemon wedges, and an empty spray bottle to complete this project. To begin, add a little amount of vinegar into the spray bottle and shake it vigorously. Saturate the grill by spraying it liberally all over it. Then grab a piece of aluminum foil and scrunch it up so that you can use it to wipe the grill. Natural acids such as vinegar, which are highly reactive to stains and greases on metal, are used to clean them away. When you rub the aluminum foil over the grill, you will be able to clearly watch the response.
Lemons are excellent for cleaning.
Keep lemons on hand to use to clean your filthy BBQ grills since they are really useful when it comes to cleaning. To begin, split the lemons in half and sprinkle some sea salt over the top of each half. Rub the lemons all over the grill to get a good coating. Due to the high concentration of citric acid present in lemons, they are 10,000 times more acidic than water. Take a piece of aluminum foil and crumple it up, much as you would with vinegar. When you use it to scratch the soiled grills, you will see the instant impact of the lemons and salt. These are the quickest and most effective methods for cleaning your BBQ grill organically.
Baking soda is used to combine soap with vinegar.
This procedure is most ideal when your BBQ grill has been sitting unused for an extended length of time. Cleaning supplies for this method will include baking soda, dish soap, and vinegar (optional). Prepare a mixing bowl by pouring each of the three materials into it one by one. To make the mixed soap, just combine your usual dishwashing soap with water. Gently combine all of the ingredients until they create a wet and frothy paste consistency.
Paint the surfaces of the grill grate with a brush once you’ve combined the ingredients in the previous step. Saturate the whole BBQ grill, both inside and exterior, and let it to sit for an entire night (8-10hrs). Now, using the grill brush, begin cleaning the moistened grill stains and deposits away from the grill. If there is any residue left after the cleaning, you may wipe it away with warm water and a sponge to remove it. If you want to season the grills, you may use vegetable oil with a neutral taste.
