Since a grill is a food-contact surface by definition, it's one of the more sensible places to reach for a non-toxic cleaner. These five are plant-based or biodegradable formulas that still cut through real grease and carbon buildup — not diluted-down versions that leave you scrubbing twice as hard.

DIY eco-friendly options
If you'd rather skip commercial products entirely, a baking soda paste handles moderate grease, and plain white vinegar cuts through mineral deposits on grates and grease trays. Both take more elbow grease than a commercial degreaser but cost next to nothing and use ingredients already in most kitchens.
