Memorial Day weekend signals the start of grilling season, prompting a deep clean of a portable Weber grill after repeated use. Dish soap and a sponge were the usual method, but heavy grime required a stronger spray cleaner and full coverage on the lid and grates. Rubber gloves and an N95 mask were used because of a strong chemical scent, and cleaning took place on a ventilated balcony. The product was allowed to sit for 40 minutes before wiping; substantial buildup came off the lid and grates, achieving roughly 90% cleanliness after a second application.
I wanted to see exactly how heavy-duty this spray claimed to be, so I didn't scrub anything off before spraying. I simply followed the label's instructions and sprayed the inside of the lid and grates, making sure there was maximum coverage. Before spraying, I also wore rubber gloves and an N95 mask since the scent was quite strong chemically (I also did it on my balcony for better ventilation). Although the label recommended letting the product sit for 20 minutes, I waited 40 minutes based on The Kitchn's cleaning showdown's steps for this spray.
When I returned for the first wipe off with some damp paper towels, I was truly impressed (and also grossed out!) with how much came off from the lid specifically. It almost looked like an entirely different lid!
Once I got to the grates, everything came off with such ease that I thought I might have sprayed too much. I sprayed the interior a second time and waited another 40 minutes to get a thorough clean. This time, I was able to get about 90% of the interior clean (
