How To Prevent Your Grill Grate From Rusting

It's also a good idea to do a deeper cleaning on a regular basis.To do this, remove the grill grid, then wash it with hot water, a cup of mild dish soap, and 1/4 cup of baking soda.Leave to soak for an hour, then brush.Once the grill has cooled, wipe the grill with a soft cloth to remove any remaining food or bristles.

Next, clean the burner of the grill with a non-abrasive cleaner and a rag.You want to keep drip pans dry and clean, as they are especially prone to accumulating moisture.Clean the burner holes and inlet holes with a pipe brush.
Don't forget to clean the exterior of your grill with a mild dish soap and/or nail polish that suits the look of your grill.Despite its name, even "stainless steel" is actually prone to stains and rusting, depending on the grade and thickness of the metal.
Oil your Grill
After cleaning, coat gas and charcoal stoves with a thin layer of vegetable oil to prevent future food from sticking to them.Doing so also helps to drive away moisture, thus preventing rust.However, to be on the safe side, do not use spray cans of vegetable oil, as spray cans can explode near a flame.Instead, apply a small amount of oil to a dish towel and use it to spread on the grill.
