Let it sit for the same amount of time. This steam-cleaning method is great for loosening debris with minimal effort.
For heavy-duty cleaning, crush the tablet into powder and mix it with a little water to create a concentrated paste. Apply this directly onto the dirtiest spots and let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing.
To increase effectiveness, use a toothbrush or small scrubbing brush to target tight spaces where carbon builds up. Work in circles and rinse often to monitor progress.
If your grill has a lid with carbon build-up, apply the same paste or tablet rub to the inner surfaces, wiping it clean afterward with a damp rag.
After cleaning, a final rinse with vinegar or lemon water can help neutralize any chemical residue and leave your grill smelling fresh.
Once everything is dry, lightly oil your grates with a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil to protect the surface and prevent rust.
