Why Regular Cleaning is Important

Regular cleaning of your grill not only extends its lifespan but also ensures that your food tastes great and is safe to eat.

After Each Use

After every grilling session, whether you're using a Weber or another brand, it's important to clean the grates. While the grill is still warm, use a Quick 'n Brite Grill Brush or a wire brush to remove any food particles and grease. This prevents buildup and makes your next grilling session more enjoyable.

1. Turn off the grill and let it cool slightly.
2. Spray Quick 'n Brite All-Purpose Cleaner on the grates.
3. Scrub with the Quick 'n Brite Grill Brush to remove residue.

1. Disconnect the propane tank or ensure the grill is completely cool if using charcoal.
2. Remove the grates and flavorizer bars.
3. Apply Quick 'n Brite Original Paste Cleaner on all surfaces and let sit for 15-20 minutes. (It will do the tough work for you!)
4. Scrub with a Quick 'n Brite Scrub Pad to remove any remaining stubborn grease and grime.
5. Rinse thoroughly with water and let everything dry completely before reassembling.

Annual Maintenance

At least once a year, give your grill a comprehensive cleaning. This includes checking for any wear and tear and ensuring all parts are functioning properly.

1. Disassemble the grill completely.
2. Inspect all parts for damage and replace if necessary.
3. Clean each part thoroughly with Quick 'n Brite Original Paste Cleaner using a wire brush.
