Liam Glennon, senior outdoor recreation buyer at VonHaus, revealed his DIY tips for cleaning your grill this summer.
One trick to perfect your cleanup after an outdoor meal is to use a popular burger ingredient to scrub your grill.
He recommended using an onion to steam clean grease from your grill.
“A new and natural solution to remove stubborn dirt is to clean the bars with an onion,” he explained.
Glennon broke down the two simple steps required for the “onion trick.”
“Raise the temperature slightly and attach half an onion to a fork to create a makeshift handful,” he said.
“Rub gently on the hot grill so that the water from the onion flows naturally onto the barbecue: its antibacterial properties will remove any impurities.”
He pointed out that this money-saving trick contains no chemicals, making it safer to use than most cleaning products.
Glennon also recommended using beer to add some sparkle to your barbecue.
“Its natural acidity can help break down grease, while its carbonation will help dislodge stuck-on food particles,” he explained.

“Simply turn your grill on to medium heat and pour a can of beer onto the hot grills.
“Let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing with a grill brush to leave your surfaces sparkling. »
He added that there was no need to “waste the good stuff” because “any old beer can will do”.
And if you’re out of beer and onions, don’t worry, a kitchen staple will do the trick too.
“Just mix it with a little water to form a paste, then apply it to the grills with a brush or sponge,” he explains.
