Use water and soap as they are still the best cleaning solutions. Use the usual soap dishwashing liquid that is designed for cutting grease and combine it with hot water or warm water in the large bucket or container.

Remove the grill rack from the gas grill and put it directly in the soapy water. Leave the grill rack and soak it for about 30 minutes or more depending on how much grease are built in grilling racks. There are other options to remove grease in the grill racks, put the drip guard right with the grill racks in the container to eliminate the build-up of grease. Remove the remaining particles inside the grill by using wet-dry vacuums via hand-held tools.

Rinse off any excess soap after the drip guard and grill rack have finished soaking and put them back inside the grill. If baked-on grease is not removed, use the grill cleaning brush to remove any remaining residue. Do not use the metal grill cleaning brush on porcelain grills because it will cause damage.
