3. **Sprinkle baking soda:**
While the grates are still hot, sprinkle baking soda over the vinegar-coated surfaces. You’ll notice fizzing — that’s the reaction working to dissolve the grime.

4. **Wait 4 minutes:**
Let the mixture sit and work its magic. No scrubbing needed!

5. **Wipe clean:**
After 4 minutes, use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe away the loosened gunk. You’ll be amazed at how easily it comes off.

### Why This Hack Works

* **Baking soda’s gentle abrasiveness** lifts off stuck particles without scratching.
* The fizzing reaction helps break down tough grime.
* **Heat opens up the pores** on the grill surface, making cleaning easier.

### Extra Tips from Nana

* For really stubborn spots, repeat the process or let the vinegar sit a little longer.
* Use this hack regularly after grilling to prevent heavy buildup.
* If you don’t have a spray bottle, you can soak a cloth in vinegar and lay it on the grates before sprinkling baking soda.
