Barbecue season is one of Edmonton’s favorite times of the year—but if your grill hasn’t had a proper cleaning, it might be doing more harm than good. Built-up grease, carbon deposits, and burnt food can not only ruin the flavor of your meals, but also create serious health and fire risks.
Here are five clear signs it’s time to schedule a professional BBQ cleaning:
1. Heavy Grease & Black Gunk Buildup
If your grates, burners, or drip trays are coated in sticky grease or charred residue, your grill is overdue for a deep clean. This buildup can cause dangerous flare-ups and uneven heating.
2. Your Grill Smells Bad Before You Cook
Noticed a burnt or rancid smell when firing up the BBQ? That’s likely old grease and food residue reheating. A proper eco-friendly cleaning eliminates odors and restores freshness.
3. Uneven Flame or Clogged Burners
When burners are blocked by carbon or food debris, you’ll get weak or uneven flames. This makes grilling frustrating and unsafe. High-pressure steam cleaning clears these obstructions thoroughly.
4. Rust, Mold, or Discoloration
Outdoor exposure and lack of cleaning often lead to rust spots or mold—especially on hidden parts like warming racks, heat shields, and grease trays. Steam sanitizing removes all of it safely and without harsh chemicals.
5. You Can’t Remember the Last Time It Was Cleaned
If you’ve had your grill for over a season without a deep cleaning, now’s the time. Even lightly-used BBQs build up harmful grime over time that standard wiping can’t remove.
