- Wire brush

How to Clean Grill Grates Easily:
#1: Pre-Soaking the Grill Grates
Prepare a tub or bucket that’s large enough to fit the grill grates, then prepare either a solution of soapy water or water with PBW, and place the grill grates until fully submerged. Allow them to soak for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Once done soaking and most of the burnt parts have softened or are removed, give it a good rinse using clean water, or use a pressure washer instead to make sure that there is no residue on the grill grates.
#2: Scrubbing the Grill Grates
If you don’t want to wait too long for the grill grates to soak, you can just directly scrub them clean instead. You can use either a wire brush, table scraper, or a drill with a wire attachment, whichever you have on hand or is most convenient for you. After scrubbing, wipe it clean or rinse it, you can also give it a quick wash using soapy water to make it extra clean and make sure there is no residue on the grill grates.
