Did you know you can clean your barbecue safely using Bio-D products?

Summer is here, which means it’s time for alfresco dining and outdoor cooking*.

*Weather permitting.

It seems an age since we all got together for a shindig in the garden, so all those barbecues out there might need a good clean. Here’s our top tips on cleaning your barbecue with the environment in mind:

When bringing out your barbecue for the summer, it’s important to give it a good clean before using. Start by spraying the sides with a sanitiser (we recommend Bio-D’s All Purpose Sanitiser!) for a once over to gather all the dust and dirt from over the winter

• Next, scrape any remaining residue or food off the grills – rubbing half an onion on the grills can help with any stubborn excess
• Once the residue has been removed, soak the grills in hot water with Bio-D washing up liquid – pick your favourite scent here. Surprisingly, washing powder also works well for this!
• For the best results, allow the grill to soak for 20-30 minutes to make sure all the food residue is broken down
• Once soaked, give them a scrub – Seep creates a great eco-friendly loofah scourer – and you will be left with sparkling grills. Leave to dry and place back on to your barbecue ready for use
• Finally, get into the habit of cleaning and maintaining your barbecue after every use – this will prevent bacteria, cross contamination, and also rust to help it to last longer

Also, being vegan doesn’t mean you can’t get your barbecue on. With kebabs, burgers, salads, and more still on the menu, you might find some vegan recipe inspiration here.
