A clean barbecue is the basis for real barbecue enjoyment - regardless of whether it's a gas barbecue, charcoal barbecue or electric barbecue. However, cleaning after a successful barbecue evening is the most unpleasant task for many: burnt-on grease, stuck-on food residue and stubborn soot make cleaning the barbecue a challenge. Cleaning the grill grate and cleaning the grill - it sounds easier than it is. Using a conventional cloth or even chemical cleaners is often not enough to tackle the dirt - and there is also a high risk of finding residues in the next barbecue.
The solution: grill cleaning with a steam cleaner - or more precisely: with micro dry steam. This innovative method harnesses the power of extremely hot, almost dry steam and removes even deep-seated dirt - completely without chemicals. With a high-quality steam cleaner such as the Micro Cleaner from Medeco Cleantec, the barbecue can be cleaned not only thoroughly, but also gently and in an environmentally friendly way.
Why grill cleaning with a steam cleaner is particularly worthwhile
Using a barbecue produces a variety of stubborn residues: grease splashes onto the housing, marinades char on the grates, meat juices drip into the drip tray. Particularly with regular use - for example during the barbecue season - a solid layer of dirt builds up that can hardly be removed with water and a cloth. Many people therefore resort to chemical-based barbecue cleaners. However, these are often irritating, harmful to the environment and can even leave behind harmful residues if not rinsed thoroughly.
A professional steam cleaner solves this problem. The heat and pressure of the micro dry steam literally blasts away dirt. At the same time, the hot steam has a disinfecting effect - bacteria, mold and germs don't stand a chance. And best of all: only pure water is used, without any additives.
What is micro dry steam?
Micro dry steam is a particularly efficient form of steam cleaning. In contrast to conventional steam cleaners, where the steam still contains a relatively high level of moisture, the micro dry steam cleaner heats water to over 180 °C and ejects it at a pressure of up to 9 bar. The resulting steam is almost dry - the water content is only around 5 %.
This combination of high temperature and pressure ensures that even burnt-on soiling is removed from deep within the pores and crevices of the grill surfaces. Even heavily charred residues can be removed without leaving any residue. At the same time, the residual moisture remains so low that the barbecue is ready for use again immediately after cleaning - without long drying times or the risk of corrosion.
Advantages of grill cleaning with micro dry steam
Cleaning the grill with micro dry steam has numerous advantages - for the user, the grill and the environment:
- Thorough cleanliness without chemicals
The steam reliably removes even old and stubborn grill residues. Cleaning is carried out purely mechanically using pressure and temperature - chemical barbecue cleaners are no longer necessary. Cleaning your barbecue with a steam cleaner not only protects your health, but also the environment. - Hygienically clean
Thanks to temperatures above 100 °C, bacteria, germs and even mold spores are reliably killed. After cleaning, the surfaces are not only clean, but hygienically clean - ideal for the food sector. - Gentle on materials
Unlike aggressive cleaners, micro dry steam does not attack enamel, stainless steel or plastic. The appliances remain functional and visually appealing - even after many cleaning processes. The advantages are particularly evident with gas barbecues: Sensitive components are treated thoroughly but gently. - Environmentally friendly
Water is the only cleaning agent. There are no chemical residues that could harm the environment, people or animals. The amount of water required is also minimal compared to conventional cleaning methods. - Saves time and money
The high cleaning performance significantly reduces the time required. At the same time, there are no costs for barbecue cleaners, sponges or disposable gloves. The investment in a steam cleaner therefore pays for itself quickly - especially if used frequently.
How to clean your barbecue with a micro steam cleaner - step by step
Preparation
Disconnect the grill from the power supply (for electric grills) or allow it to cool down.
Remove coarse residues such as ash or leftover food manually.
Allow the micro steam cleaner to heat up (a few minutes depending on the model).
Cleaning
Start with the grill grate: treat it with the spot jet nozzle to loosen the burnt-on residues.
Continue with the interior: treat the drip tray, burner covers, inner walls and lid thoroughly with steam.
External surfaces and controls can be gently cleaned with a narrow flat nozzle.
Post-processing
Wipe off dissolved residues with a microfiber cloth.
The grill is ready for use immediately - no rinsing, no drying time.
Suitable for all types of grill
Whether kettle grill, smoker or gas grill - a steam cleaner is suitable for all types of grill. Even professional gastro grills that are particularly dirty can be kept hygienically clean with micro dry steam. Grid inserts, grill plates, grill tongs or drip pans can also be treated without any problems.
Frequently asked questions about grill cleaning with steam
Can you clean a grill grate effectively with a steam cleaner?
Yes - especially with a micro dry steam cleaner. The hot steam at high pressure penetrates deep into the pores of the grill grate and removes even stubborn, burnt-on residues. The application is quick, hygienic and works without chemicals.
How clean does a gas barbecue really get with a steam cleaner?
Cleaning with micro dry steam means more than just superficial cleanliness. The thermal effect removes germs, grease, soot and even odor residues. The result: a hygienically clean grill - ready for the next use.
What should I bear in mind when cleaning the barbecue with a steam cleaner?
Before cleaning, remove coarse food residues and allow the grill to cool down. Sensitive areas (e.g. electronic components) should be avoided or treated with a suitable attachment and distance. After steam cleaning, a quick wipe with a cloth is sufficient.
Is a steam cleaner also suitable for delicate grill parts?
Yes - micro dry steam in particular is very gentle. Neither stainless steel nor enamel are affected. It is important to use suitable nozzle attachments and to test in an inconspicuous place if you are unsure.
What are the advantages of cleaning the barbecue without chemicals using steam?
Cleaning with a steam cleaner is not only thorough, but also health and environmentally friendly. No residue on the food, no aggressive cleaning agents, no danger to pets or children - instead a clean, safe barbecue experience.
