What to look for in a grill cleaner

  • Clinging foam, not a runny liquid — vertical grates need dwell time
  • A dwell time measured in minutes, not hours
  • Non-abrasive, so porcelain and enamel coatings survive
  • Low odour and food-contact-sensible: rinseable, no lingering residue
  • Cost per clean, not just cost per bottle

The options, honestly compared

Wire brushes: fast on light residue, but they scratch, strip seasoning and can shed bristles. Oven cleaner on grates: strong, but caustic, slow, and rough on coatings. Baking soda and vinegar: safe and cheap, though it takes real scrubbing and struggles with polymerised carbon. Pressure washing: effective outdoors, messy, and water in burner tubes causes rust and ignition faults.

A purpose-built foaming degreaser sits in the middle: chemical action strong enough for carbon, gentle enough for coatings, fast enough to do before you cook.

Why we built GreaseKiller™ this way

A clinging foam, a two-minute dwell, a wipe with a cloth, and a 90-day guarantee so you can test it on the worst grate you own. Bundles bring the cost down to about $9 a bottle, and one bottle covers a full grill clean plus kitchen touch-ups.

How much should you buy?

  • 1 bottle: a single deep clean, or a trial run
  • 3 bottles (most popular): grill + kitchen + spare, at $13 each
  • 5–8 bottles: a full season, or splitting an order with neighbours, from $9 each

Try GreaseKiller™ risk-free

Bundles start at $9 a bottle with free worldwide shipping and a 90-day results-or-refund guarantee. Checkout takes under a minute.
