Now that summer is finally upon us, and withagainnextweek, many of us are likely making plans to have friends and family over for BBQs.
And although barbecuing is an easy way to make a delicious dinner, it can be tricky to get grills clean afterwards.
Dirty barbecues interfere with the quality of food, and don’t make a great impression when you have guests.
However, experts at HG have revealed some super cheap to get them gleaming again.
Lemon Juice

“Tackle tough BBQ grime by spraying lemon juice and water on the grill”;, they said.

If your BBQ is extra greasy, the experts recommend using another budget staple too – an onion.
“For extra cleaning power, rub a hot grill with half a raw onion – the natural acids help lift off grease and food residue”;, they said.
Aluminium Foil
Another budget-friendly hack the experts recommend is to use aluminium foil.
“Crumple a piece of aluminium foil into a ball and rub it over the grill to remove stubborn burnt-on bits,”; the experts said.
“Follow with a quick brush to finish the job.”;
Foil is another super cheap hack, and can be picked up from the supermarket for as little as £1.
Grass
If you’re looking for a hack that’s extra purse-friendly, using grass won’t cost you a penny.
“Place a cooled BBQ grill on the lawn overnight – the dew helps loosen debris for an easy wipe-down”;, the experts explained.

“Suitable for aluminium and stainless steel grills only.”;
BBQ warning
However, the cleaning experts revealed that there’s one common cleaning hack that BBQ lovers should avoid.
They revealed that it is a common myth that turning on the grill and burning off residue makes the BBQ clean.
“There is a misconception that high heat creates a clean environment, but the truth is that it doesn’t thoroughly clean your BBQ”; they said.
“Lingering grime can seriously impact both flavour and hygiene.”;
