bbq: We have a stainless steel bbq grill that stayed outside on a patio and where it has rained on it there is a lot of rust on the top barrel part. Please let me know of anything that we can buy to get rid of the rust.|||Step 1- Gathering The Necessary Items You will need some common household items on hand when it comes time to clean your barbeque grill. Brass wire grill brush Steel wool pads, preferably that contains soap already. Mild dish soap Sponge or dishcloth Spray cooking oil Dry baking soda Aluminum foil Step 2- Brushing Your Grill Off The first thing that should always be done to your grill is a routine brushing. Using your brass wire grill brush (or other brush suitable to your type of grill) you should brush off all the surfaces. By routinely brushing your barbeque grill, you will prevent any type of buildup. If buildup from food is left to long, it can become increasingly difficult to remove, and can end up causing problems such as rust. Step 3- Spray Cooking Oil Once you are sure that your grill is free of all buildup and debris, and that your grill is completely cooled off, you will want to spray it down with a light layer of cooking oil. Spraying it down with cooking oil will prevent your barbeque grill from rusting. It is especially important to make sure you barbeque grill is completely cold, as spraying cooking oil on a hot surface may cause the oil to heat up and ignite, which could be potentially dangerous to you and your barbeque grill. Step 4- Use Baking Soda and Aluminum Foil on Your Grill Baking soda is a very nice cleaning and polishing agent. Once you have removed any extra debris and buildup, lightly scrubbing your barbeque grill with baking soda will give it that extra shine, similar to the day that you brought it home from the store. This can also be used on handles and knobs to remove any extra buildup tat cannot be taken off with a wire brush. Aluminum foil can also be used to keep your grill looking nice. Gently rub the aluminum foil on your grill, and you will notice that it removes grim and buildup. This is a cheap and inexpensive way to clean your grill. Step 5- Clean Your Racks The racks in your grill are especially important as this is where the food touches when it is cooking. You will have to use the wire brush to remove as much buildup as possible. Once you remove as much as possible, start washing the racks with dish soap. If the racks are really dirty, you may also want to use the steel wool pads. Be sure to completely rinse off all soap and residue before cooking on these racks again.|||Stay away from acids if you can. Try Nevr-Dull. YHou can find it at the auto supply. It's a can full of cotton wadding impregnated with chemical. You may have to work on it with 0000 steel wool first, but the Nev'r-Dull works well but slowly. It's primary use is polishing aluminum aircraft, but it works on stainless steel, too. You can also use "No. 7" brand polishing compound. You may need to go in first with rubbing compound, which is more course and will cut the rust faster in the beginning.|||C.L.R. calcium, lime and rust remover|||Diluted water with muriatic acid.
