Recently I was cleaning the grill grates on my Weber Genesis gas grill. My goal was to find the lowest effort method for how to clean cooking grates on my bbq grill, however, that went out the window pretty quickly as I got obsessed with trying to find the best way to clean cooking grates on a grill...period.

What started out as soaking grill grates and brushing to clean the stainless steel grill grates, turned into power washing the bbq grates and even using a wire wheel to clean the grill grates. By the end, the grill grates were as clean as I could make them, but I'm not going to lie, it was a journey to get there. lol.

About half way through I realized you guys might be interested in what I ended up doing to clean my grill grates and make them as close to perfectly clean as when the grill was brand new and completely clean.
