Heidi Burns took to the Facebook page to ask for help: “Does anyone have any tips on how to clean and degrease a BBQ please?”
Her fellow cleaning enthusiasts came to her rescue right in the nick of time as BBQ season approached.

Karen Williams offered an alternative method: “I take out the rack in my BBQ and pop it in the dishwasher.

“I then use a few dry cotton cloths to buff it dry afterwards.”
Germaine Wilson was also on hand with a totally natural tip: “Cut a fresh lemon in half and wipe the bars with it.
