This article will cover how restaurants clean their grills after they are finished cooking. Most grills are cleaned after the entire day is up. In between the day, if the grill is being used a lot, it may be scraped or briefly wiped off. Some restaurants have to clean their grills twice a day.
It is very easy for a grill to become caked with food char and debris if the commercial grill isn’t cleaned on a daily basis. This just makes cleaning the grill harder to do the next day, and so on if it isnt done. It also reduces the lifespan of the commercial grill. Sometimes the grills can get so bad that the food now collects the residue from the grill while it is cooking.
This of course is very unsanitary, and can cause a failed health inspection. Grills need to be cleaned properly in order for the food cooked on them to remain free of food borne illnesses.
The grill should never be left uncleaned after usage in an attempt to enhance the flavor of the food for the next day. After the grill is shut off, the temperatures reduce and give the chance for bacteria to multiply on the service if it is not cleaned. This can transfer to the food the next time it is grilled.
This is how restaurants clean their commercial flat-top grills step-by-step:
These are the same steps used for cleaning not only flat-tops, but griddles too.
This is how restaurants clean commercial charbroilers:
When everything is finished grilling for the day in the charbroiler, it should be turned up on its highest setting to burn off any extra food debris. This should be done until the charbroiler has stopped smoking. Close the lid on the charbroiler while it is doing this if it has one, and make sure the fan is on if done indoors. This will make cleaning the charbroiler easier.
Here is a list of the equipment needed for cleaning the commercial flat-top grill, and the commercial charbroiler.

Grill bricks can be used to clean off tougher filth on the commercial grill after scraping them and spraying them with the grill cleaner. This will help to remove rust and other filth as well.
Always be safe and use the proper equipment for cleaning any grill to avoid unnecessary burns. Grills can get really hot, and at temperatures of around 350 degrees Fahrenheit the skin can be burn after only touching the grill for 2 seconds. These burn marks can accumulate pretty quickly over time on the arms, wrists, hands, and fingers if not careful while cleaning the grill.
