Your Preferred Simple Green?


 
Having no experience with that cleaner, I can’t really say for sure, but the write-up doesn’t mention burnt on grease and carbon.

That spray bottle looks like a class product!
 
I have no skin in the game, so not trying to sound like an infomercial here, but I've been using it for a while and it's a solid cleaner.

It's been good enough for anything I've needed it for and and I've barely made a dent in the jug of concentrate that I bought years ago.

Thanks for the additional info, John. Does sound like an appealing product. I like the highly concentrated buying setup.

I soaked some SS grates in the Zep restaurant grade citrus cleaner for a few days. Most all of the gunk rinsed off with a hose.

How many times do you reuse the same liquid? And follow up question, could it be a good idea to strain it out and reuse it again?

I did make an attempt at straining the liquid, but it was so black it was pretty off-putting.

That being said, I had a tote that fit the e300 sized grates pretty nicely, and did probably 10 sets total. They nest into one another pretty nicely not needing a ton of liquid. I did a bunch in one soak, pulled and replaced with more. So I got my value out of the couple gallons I used.

It was especially useful in getting the bigger chunks off the bottom channel of a couple of the stamped SS ones I did.

I soaked this well used, but still good Weber stamped stainless steel grate set in my sink last night using hot water, dawn, and a product called krud kutter. I scrubbed them clean with a green 3M scrubby then ran them through the dishwasher. Today I used a wire wheel in my drill to knock off the really stubborn stuff. They look good enough to keep and use or throw on flip grill. They are too worn to use on a nice restoration.IMG_20260309_183930573.jpgIMG_20260309_184230389.jpg

Excellent work Steve as always!!
 
This I just wire wheeled clean again. It's definitely a few years old with the chrome plating starting to pit. It's probably still good for a couple more years. I'm trying to get my garage cleaned and organized again with the nice weather the past few days. This includes deciding on which grill parts are worth keeping and what needs to go.

That's not bad at all for nickel chrome plated.

Getting organized is definitely a good plan. I try but always seem to make a mess out of it all again 😖 !
