Ingredients
Dishwasher tablet (the solid, pressed powder type, not gel)
Hot water
Aluminum foil or a heat-resistant container
Rubber gloves
Scrubbing pad or sponge
Old towel or rag
Mild dish soap (optional)
Instructions
Begin by ensuring your grill is completely cool and safely disconnected from any gas source.
Remove grates and any removable parts so that you can clean each piece more thoroughly. Place them on a work surface that you don’t mind getting a bit messy.
Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands from both grime and the chemicals in the tablet.
Grab one dishwasher tablet and prepare a bowl or small container of very hot water to help activate its cleaning power.
Dip the tablet briefly into the hot water, just enough to soften its surface. You’re not dissolving it—just moistening it slightly to create a gritty, paste-like texture for scrubbing.
Now, using the softened tablet directly in your hand like a scrubber, begin rubbing it over the grill grates and carbon-stained areas.
