What you need

• Black soap
• Baking soda

There’s no need to spend a fortune on specialized products to maintain your barbecue. A simple method is to leave your barbecue grill in the damp grass overnight. The next day, remove most of the dirt with newspaper. To finish degreasing the grill, use a brush with very dense and stiff fibers, or if necessary, a brass brush. Apply a little black soap to it, then sprinkle it with baking soda and scrub. All that’s left is to rinse with hot water.
