Cleaning Tips

 
Cast Iron

Before cleaning, remove all rust using a wire brush or wire wool. Severe cases may need treating with a proprietary chemical rust remover - always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Re-blacken cast-iron grates using a black grate polish such as Liberon Iron Paste. Alternatively, use a heat-resistant paint such as PlastiKote Bar-B-Q Paint for a long-term finish. Make sure you remove any grate polish residue to ensure the paint will adhere properly.

Ceramic tiles

Wash over the tiles with a warm solution of washing-up liquid. If necessary, try a fine paste cleaner, such as Jif Cream Cleanser, using a damp sponge. Take care on hand-painted tiles or those that have the pattern applied over the top of the glaze. Alternatively, use HG Remover. Never apply a damp cloth to the tiles while they are still hot as this could cause them to crack. When dry, lightly polish and rub well with a soft duster.
