One magic tablet transforms the gas grill to shine: the carbon deposits fall off in pieces

 

🔥 Why Dishwasher Tablets Work on Grills

Dishwasher tablets are engineered to tackle burnt-on food, oils, and carbon in extreme conditions—hot water, steam, and friction. They contain a combination of:

• Alkaline salts (sodium carbonate): break down grease and carbon.

• Enzymes: digest food residue and organic build-up.

• Oxygen bleach: lifts stains and disinfects surfaces.

When these ingredients are dissolved in hot water, they penetrate deep into caked-on residues, especially the carbonized gunk that clings to gas grill grates and interior components. After a proper soak, the carbon often lifts off in chunks, requiring only light brushing to fully remove.
