How to clean your barbecue with a high pressure washer


Barbecuing season is upon us, but cleaning it is not so fun. BBQ grates can get very greasy and are a pain to clean. Using a high pressure washer can save time and easily removes grease, grime, and any built-up residue. Here's how you can clean your barbecue with a high pressure washer:

1. Disassemble the barbecue: Before cleaning, take your barbecue apart by removing the grates, drip pans, and any other removable parts. Make sure you choose a spot in the garden which you don’t mind getting dirty.

2. Prepare the high pressure washer: Fill the high pressure washer with water and add a small amount of cleaning solution if desired. Plug it into the nearest socket to your BBQ.

3. Start cleaning: Begin cleaning the removable parts of the barbecue, such as the grates and drip pans. You can use a light detergent if needed and then rinse with water. If your grate is extremely dirty, try the water sand blaster accessory which helps to remove even the toughest dirt. See how in our video:

4. Clean the exterior of your BBQ: Start from the top and work your way down. Hold the jet washer at around 6 inches from the surface and spray in a sweeping motion. Avoid pointing the nozzle directly at control knobs, electrical connections, or other sensitive areas.

5. Rinse and dry your barbecue: After cleaning the exterior and removable parts, rinse everything thoroughly with water to remove any soap or cleaning solution. Leave out to dry in the sun.

After cleaning your BBQ, rinse down the surface space with your pressure washer so you don’t leave any grease lying around. Don’t forget to rinse out the hose on your high pressure washer and let it dry before storing it away.
By regularly cleaning your barbecue, you can keep it in top condition, ready for your next get together. This quick and easy cleaning method will remove grease, grime, and other build-up, ensuring that your barbecue is ready for use.
