I clean it myself, using a steel brush, when you are finished grilling and it has cooled down, (best after dinner is finished) use the brush to scrub down the grill surface. Many of the grill plates used on grills can be removed and cleaned inside. I do this monthly to keep the grill surface clean. If you are grilling with any type of BBQ sauce it is important to do a good cleaning after use removing the sauce from the grill surface. Excess grease drains to the trap normally hung below the grill. Check it and empty it periodically to prevent a bigger mess if it runs over (uncovered grills can allow water to also find it's way into the grease trap). With the grill plates removed, you can lightly run the brush over the gas jets (gas grills) to clear any jet holes that might have become clogged to ensure even heating. Taking a rag you can also wipe out any debris found on the very bottom of the grill where the grease pan is located. Easy maintenance to keep your grill clean and healthy.

My Grill is stainless, so monthly I wipe all the stainless surfaces with a stainless cleaner to maintain the nice shiny surface. Hope this helps.
