FAQs

  • Regular cleaning prevents grease build-up, flare-ups, and keeps your food tasting fresh. A quick clean after each use—brushing the grates and emptying the grease trap—will also help prolong your grill's life.

    For the best performance, clean your grill thoroughly every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage. If you grill frequently, especially high-fat foods like burgers or sausages, consider cleaning or having it cleaned it more often.

  • No, not all cleaning solutions are safe. Some products contain harmful chemicals such as PFOA, PFAS, and PTFE, which have been linked to health issues and are being phased out of many industries. It's important to be mindful of these chemicals when choosing cleaning products for your grill at home.

    At Ravinia Outdoors, we prioritize your health and the environment by using only safe, non-harmful, and environmentally friendly cleaning solutions. You can enjoy a clean grill without the worry of dangerous chemicals.

  • Yes, you can absolutely clean your own grill with enough time, effort, and the right tools and materials. However, hiring a professional offers several advantages.

    A professional grill cleaning service, like ours, ensures spotless results that you might not achieve on your own. Plus, our trained technicians can spot any potential issues, providing you with expert advice and access to necessary parts or repairs on the spot. So while DIY cleaning is an option, enlisting a pro at least once a year can save you time and ensure your grill is in top shape for your next cookout.

  • Without regular upkeep, grills may only last 3 to 5 years, depending on usage. However, with proper care, including professional cleaning and maintenance, your grill can last 10 to 15 years or longer depending on the quality. Professional services help prevent rust, corrosion, and component failures by thoroughly cleaning parts and ensuring everything is functioning properly, ultimately saving you from costly repairs or early replacement.
