3 Step Barbeque Cleaning Guide

Basic steps for complete BBQ cleaning

Taking good care of your BBQ grill is not only good for your health, but it will help to maintain the taste of what you cook too! Luckily, it only takes a few basic steps to clean your BBQ grill. All you need is a Sabco BBQ Grill Brush and paper towel.

1. Clean while the grill is still hot:
It’s obvious that cleaning is easier while the grill plates are still hot. For that reason, when you want to clean your cooled grill, turn on up the heat for few minutes to soften all the grease and grime for easier cleaning.

2. Get your tools ready:
Sabco’s BBQ brush is an essential tool for your BBQ cleaning. It is perfectly designed with ergonomic rubber grip handle and strong steel scraper for tough heavy duty cleaning. Use the steel scraper to scrape off food leftovers on grill plate and then brush with brass bristle side to clean all remaining spots and grease. At the end, use paper towel to wipe away all the dirt and grease.

3. Cover up your Barbie: 
Finally, make sure you keep your grill covered after any cooking, to stop dust and dirt from building up, prevent rust, ants and insects.

 Tip*: Place foil under your charcoal grill and after cooking you can simply fold up the ash and remaining coals in the foil and remove them in one easy step.

Tips For Killing Bacteria On Your Sponge

1. Microwave
The microwave is the most effective, zapping 99.9% of germs. Do this by putting the sponge in the microwave, saturating it in water (we used 1/4 cup for scrub sponges and 1/2 cup for cellulose), then heating it on high for one minute (scrub) or two minutes (cellulose). Allow to cool.
Warning: This only works for non-metal sponges! No metal in microwaves!

2. Dishwasher
The dishwasher also kills 99.9% of germs. To use, add your sponge to a regular dishwasher load, using the “heated dry” setting.

3. Vinegar
This method eliminates 99.6% of bacteria. All you have to do is soak your sponge in full-strength vinegar for five minutes, then rinse.

The Best Way To Hand Wash Dishes

Cleaner dishes, every day!

There comes a time when you have to hand wash your dishes! Here’s some effective & simple tips on how to make it quick and easy:

If there are lots of dishes, fill up the sink with water and let the dishes soak for few minutes before you start washing. If you only need to wash few dishes, there is no need to fill up the sink. Especially with the Save n’ Shine Dish Sponge! This wash as you go method saves detergent and means the water is always clean.

Wear gloves and use hot water. The hotter the water, the more likely it will kill all bacteria and the quicker they will dry leaving glass spotless. 

Always wash your dishes in a systematic order!  For example, first put all glassware together and start with them, then plates, and then pots. Starting with the cleanest and working your way to the dirtiest.

Rinse with clean hot water and place in a drying rack. To avoid drips, place a tea towel under your drying rack.

Best Tile Floor Cleaning Tips

Tiles are one of the most hygienic and easily maintained surfaces that you can imagine. Weekly maintenance is all you usually need to keep them looking clean.

1. First, vacuum or sweep the area to remove large debris, particles and hairs from the floors. Apart from making mopping easier, removing larger particles will protect your tiles from becoming scratched.

2. Mop using a solution of warm water with a drop or two of vinegar or disinfectant. Be sure not to use too much water and ‘flood’ the tiles. This will take floors longer to dry and can weaken grout over time. A nicely damp mop will easily lift the dirt from the surface of the tiles. The Sabco Lightning Mop (sponge mop) is a great product for general tile cleaning but if your tiles have a highly polished finish (such as porcelain) a Sabco Microfibre flat mop like the SuperSwish Xtra or SuperSwish Duo would be most suitable to achieve a streak-free finish. Microfibre flat mops are also great because there is no need for chemical cleaners, they work effectively with just water! 

3. Tile flooring around wet areas, like showers and bathrooms often gather a build-up body oils, soap and dirt. When it’s too tough to mop, use a good all-purpose cleaner and a scrubbing brush. Always rinse away any cleaning product residue as it can be slippery and cause streaks.
