How to properly clean a stainless steel grill

It's hard not to be charmed by the shiny stainless steel grill. It's bright and clean and shiny. However, after some use, your beautiful grill may not look so smooth and new.
That's because not all stainless steels are created equal, and just because they're called stainless doesn't mean it can't stain, fade, or even rust. You'll need to use a few precautions, the right cleaner and some elbow grease if you're going to keep the stainless steel grill shiny and new looking.

Remove the lid. The first thing you need to do to keep your stainless steel grill looking new is take care of it. This means you need a high quality grill cover. The lid will come off before you open the grill, and it will come back on once it has cooled. This removes outdoor elements from the grill and keeps them in good condition.

A good grill cover will let the water out, but not in; A cover that lets in moisture is worth almost nothing, and a cover that hides the moisture inside is worse than no cover at all. LIDS that draw moisture out are usually made of heavy vinyl.
Most of the time, the barbecue brand you buy is going to sell barbecue covers from which you can also get coverage from beautiful, focused all-weather materials companies. The inside of the lid should be padded with felt to absorb excess moisture and pull it out of the grill, and to protect the grill from the lid itself.

Clean the grill regularly. Now that you have the lid, you need to keep the grill clean. Given enough time, grease and food particles can corrode the highest quality stainless steel. This is a particular problem because we tend to use more acidic marinades and sauces on our grills, and it can damage your grill no matter how much you spend.
Not only should you make a habit of cleaning your grill grate before and after cooking, but you should also clean the stainless steel surface. This means the shelf on the side of the plate where you placed the cured meat (and inadvertently dripped the liquid), as well as the outside of the grill lid and any front doors.

Clean stainless steel properly. When cleaning stainless steel, you need to remember that this material scratches easily - when it happens, you either face using a power buffer or just live with it. Therefore, it is important not to use steel wool or metal brushes to clean the grill, and to avoid abrasive cleaners.
Kitchen ware cleaners that you can purchase at most stores or stainless steel cleaners are a good choice. If you need a little guidance, ask the salesperson at your local appliance store, as they tend to know how to maintain a stainless steel grill.

Also look for barbecue cleaner, which can be used as a cleaner and protector, so it not only cleans stainless steel, but also helps keep this cleaner in place. Otherwise, you can clean the grill using a soft cloth and a quality non-abrasive cleaner.
