Small fat splashes that build up around a barbecue can, over time appear quite unsightly. As with drinks stains, they should be cleaned as soon as possible with hot, soapy water. Most will naturally degrade over time, however residues may remain for years. When barbecues are a regular occurrence they can build up and become dangerously slippery if not regularly cleaned. For this reason, we always advise our clients to purchase a BBQ mat, which can be found at most home and garden stores such as Home Depot, Lowes or Menards.
