3 Signs Your Grill Needs a Deep Clean

3 Signs Your BBQ Grill Needs a Deep Clean in Durham Region
Whether you're grilling in Ajax, cooking for the family in Pickering, or hosting a backyard get-together in Whitby — a dirty BBQ can ruin the whole experience.

Here are 3 signs it's time for a professional BBQ cleaning in the Durham Region:

🔥 1. Black Flakes Are Falling Into Your Food

If you see little black specks landing on your burgers or chicken, you're not seasoning — you're serving burnt grease and carbon buildup.
These flakes are not only unappetizing, they’re a sign your grill grates and burners are caked with residue.

🔥 2. Uneven Flames or Clogged Burners

Notice cold spots or inconsistent heat on your grill? That's usually caused by grease-clogged burner ports.
We see this all the time when cleaning BBQs across Pickering and Oshawa. Blockages lead to slower cook times and higher gas usage — not to mention fire risk.

🔥 3. Last Month’s Smell Before This Month’s Meal

If your BBQ still smells like ribs from 3 weeks ago — even before you light it — it’s a red flag.
Old fat, meat juice, and leftover debris attract pests, mold, and flare-ups. In the warm summer months in Durham, this is a fast way to spoil your grill and your appetite.
