Cuts through baked on food, grease & grime on your outdoor cooking equipment.
Diluent: CAS #7732-18-5. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water treatment process that removes contaminants from water by passing the water through a membrane, (filter), where contaminants are filtered out yielding more pure quality water.
Surfactant: CAS #68439-46-3. It is used in cleaners to modify the surface tension of water, to aid in even spreading and to allow mixing with oil and dirt so that they can be rinsed away. As part of the EPA Safer Choice Program, it has been evaluated and determined to be safer than traditional chemical ingredients.
Builder: CAS #6834-92-0. A strong oxidizer. As a component in a chemical degreaser, it reacts with fatty acids (animal grease) to form a soap, which is then rinsed away. As part of the EPA Safer Choice Program, it has been evaluated and determined to be safer than traditional chemical ingredients.
Surfactant: CAS #1300-72-7. An organic compound that increases the ability of water to dissolve other molecules. It is also found in personal care products as a surfactant, to modify the surface tension of water, to aid in even spreading and to allow mixing with oil and dirt so that they can be rinsed away. As part of the EPA Safer Choice Program, it has been evaluated and determined to be safer than traditional chemical ingredients.
Chelating Agent: CAS #25102-12-9.
Repeat above process if necessary.
A cleaner formulated specifically for grills is a better choice than a general-purpose degreaser. General-purpose products may not be safe for stainless steel or porcelain enamel, and some contain acids or abrasives that can damage those finishes. For a seasonal prep routine, the outdoor spring cleaning checklist covers the grill alongside the rest of your outdoor cooking space.
Start by brushing off any loose charred deposits before applying any cleaner. Spray on full strength to a cool grill, let it soak for one to five minutes, then scrub with a brush until the grease and soot loosen. Rinse thoroughly with cool water and allow the grill to dry completely before use. Heavily soiled areas may need a second application. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see How to Clean Your BBQ Grill.
A stiff-bristled brush works best for scrubbing grill grates, especially on baked-on deposits. For hard-to-reach areas inside the grill, spraying the cleaner onto a cloth gives more control than applying it directly to the surface. If your outdoor furniture or patio also needs attention, CLR Outdoor Furniture Cleaner handles dirt, grime, and grease on most outdoor surfaces.
Alkaline-based cleaners break down grease by reacting with its fatty acid components, which allows it to be rinsed away rather than spread around. For grease buildup on surrounding surfaces like concrete or garage floors, the Automotive Line Grease, Tar & Oil cleaner handles those separately.
