Materials Needed
- Aluminum foil
- Water or vinegar spray (optional)
- A grill brush (optional for final touch)
Step-by-Step

- Wipe or brush lightly
- Once most residue is gone, wipe with a damp cloth or use a grill brush for a final pass.
💡 Why It Works
- Heat softens stuck food.
- Aluminum foil is abrasive enough to scrape without damaging grates.
- Minimal effort, and you don’t need chemical cleaners.
✅ Bottom line: Heat your grill, scrunch foil, rub, and the gunk comes off in 4 minutes flat—no heavy scrubbing, no elbow grease.
