How to Clean your Barbeque Grill

Barbequing is a staple for many people during the summer time and although you may clean your grill with a stiff wire brush after cooking, it still needs a good deep cleaning once or twice throughout the year.

For regular maintenance clean your grill with a stiff wire brush shortly after cooking (while the surface is still warm) to remove any food residue and that will help prolong the life of your grill.

To give your grill a deep clean that requires taking apart various pieces of the grill. First start by disconnecting the gas and removing the propane unit. Then lift out the various layers of the grill (If you have a complicated grill, make sure to organize the pieces as you take them so you can put them back in the same order!) Get all the way down to the burners so you can clean them and make sure nothing is blocking the gas flow!

Next, using a garden hose spray down the barbeque and the grill, then using a stiff wet brush apply Quick n Brite full strength and work it around in a 5 to 6 inch circlular motion. Let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes if you are having trouble removing build up, then rinse the barbeque back off with a garden hose.

Reassemble the barbeque and you're done! Next time you grill, you can enjoy even heat and a great grill taste!

How to Clean Hard Water Stains in Showers


Hard water, calcium, mineral deposits and soap scum are a constant battle in any shower to keep clean and maintained. There are many cleaners on the market that may come close to getting your shower cleaned but they are so full of fumes and chemicals it makes cleaning your shower such a tough chore that it never gets done. Years ago, Quick n Brite developed SCUM OFF, a product made specifically to clean hard water, soap scum and calcium and mineral deposits from your showers. Whether you have glass shower doors, porcelain, tile, marble or vinyl Scum Off is safe on any surface water can touch! Even your brushed nickel faucets and fixtures, stainless steel and grout! With Scum Off, we take the hassle, scrubbing and fumes out of cleaning your shower.

First thing you want to do when using Scum Off is throw away your old rubber gloves and mask you previously used to clean the showers because there are no chemicals or fumes and you won't need them!


  1. Wet your shower down then using a stiff scrub brush (or 0000 steel wool for really tough showers) 
  2. Apply Scum Off full strength directly out of the container. 
  3. Let it sit on your shower for 30 minutes. During that time Scum Off will break down your soap scum and hard water deposits so you don't have to scrub. 
  4. After 30 minutes, reapply Scum Off with your scrub brush then rinse the shower using your shower head.
After your shower is cleaned to maintain your shower add 1TB of Scum Off to a quart of water and spray down your shower after each use. This will prevent the hard water and soap scum from building back up on your shower doors.
