Using a dirty grill is never fun especially when you are making delicious hotdogs and burgers. You need a pressure washer that can remove all the dirt and grime in order to keep the condition of your grill at its best. Every ounce of grease and fat from the meat you cooked will make its way into the grill. Simply washing the grill won’t remove all the dirt and grime. Deep cleansing is needed and this can only be done with the help of a pressure washer. This tool makes it easier and faster to maintain your grill regardless of its size.

The pressure should deliver at least 1.3 GPM and 2000 PSI. Grills are usually made of metal and accumulate grease and grime easily. A lot of pressure is needed to get rid of all the grease and grime. Here are some things to keep in mind when pressure washing your grill.

The preparation phase

• Make sure to disconnect all the electricity lines before cleaning your grill. You don’t want to spray water on a grill with an electric starter that is switched on. If you have a natural gas line dependent grill, you only need to disconnect the line. In case you own a propane grill, don’t forget to disconnect and place the tank in a different location. You also need to transfer the connection hose to another area to prevent water from getting inside the hose.
• It is important that you use the right Meat releases lots of fat that can accumulate all over your grill. Cleaning the grill using only water at high pressure is not enough. Using a good degreaser can help you clean the grill thoroughly.

The pressure washing begins

• Blast the grill using a 40⁰ spray tip to get rid of any loose grime or dirt deposit on the grill’s surface. This will also make applying your selected degreaser easier.
• When applying the degreaser, pay particular attention to extremely dirty spots. Allow the degreaser to work for five minutes.
• Use a pressure washer that delivers 2000 PSI and clean the area with a 15⁰ spray tip in order to rinse and blast away all the grease and grime from the surface. Apply another round of degreaser on particularly tough areas and clean it with a 35⁰ tip. Make sure that you’re at a close range in order to thoroughly clean the dirty spots.
• Use a 40⁰ tip to rinse the grill down. Allow the grill to dry out in the sun. You should avoid using the grill until it has fully dried.

Now, what is the best pressure washer for washing your grill? You may have read various pressure washer reviews and want to know the right choice for you. Electric pressure washers are ideal for those who clean their grill regularly. They are also affordable. Gas power washers are more powerful and expensive than electric pressure washers and ideal for those who have not cleaned their grill in ages.
