Grate Chef® Grill Wipes
Frequently Asked Questions
My grill is disgusting … how do I clean it?
Follow the simple 1-2-3 steps on the back of the Grate Chef® Grill Wipes package to effectively clean your grill. Grill Wipes are strong and absorbent to remove minor debris and burnt-on material from your cooking surface. Repeated use of fresh Grill Wipes will treat the metal of your grate making future clean-up much easier.

Is there a recommended way to wipe the grate?
We recommend pushing the Grate Chef® wipe with a grill brush IN THE DIRECTION OF THE GRILL GRATE BARS. This will ensure that the wipe remains attached to the brush. Never use your hands to apply the wipe to a heated grill.

My grill grate is very dry and/or rusted – what can I do?
If your grates are excessively dry or rusted, we recommend the following pre-treatment:
1. Clean the grate thoroughly with a wire brush
2. Apply extra vegetable oil to a Grate Chef® Grill Wipes pad and use a grill brush to work the oil into the metal until completely treated
3. Use a fresh Grill Wipes pad for final cleaning before cooking
With continued use of Grate Chef® Grill Wipes, your grates will cook better, remain rust-free and last longer.

How do you prevent foods from sticking on a grill?
Use Grate Chef® Grill Wipes every time you grill to treat the cooking surface with our specially formulated, pure vegetable oil. The key ingredient is a heat-resistant release agent not available to consumers in a wipes application.

How can I get more noticeable grill marks on my grilled foods?
Use Grill Wipes to deliver a uniquely-blended oil to your grill grate cooking surface for distinct and enhanced grill marks. Grill Wipes make achieving professional results simple and convenient.

Will Grill Wipes prevent rust?
Yes. Repeated use of Grill Wipes will treat the metal grates of your grill preventing rust and making future clean-up much easier. Grill Wipes may also be used after cooking on a cooled grill to keep grates oiled between barbequing.

Should I use non-stick spray oil on my grates?
Aerosol spray oil is highly flammable and when sprayed onto your grill grates, it coats the base (i.e. lava rocks, etc.), which can cause future problems. Grate Chef® Grill Wipes provide a safer way to apply non-stick oil while removing burnt particles from the cooking surface.

What’s wrong with my home remedy of paper towel and oil to clean my grates?
Paper towel and oil is highly flammable and only marginally effective in cleaning an abrasive grilling surface. Grate Chef® Grill Wipes are strong, absorbent, and flame retardant, and also deliver a specially formulated, foodservice-grade vegetable oil to your grill grates.

What are Grill Wipes made of?
Grate Chef® Grill Wipes are made of natural cellulose-based fibers that are nontoxic and biodegradable.
