Using a non stick spray on the cooking surfaces can help make cleaning your grill easier, and keep food from sticking during your cook out.

How to clean mold without toxic chemicals
Green (Living) Review
SEPTEMBER 19, 2014
One way to kill mold is to use my all-time favorite cleaning tool: vinegar. Both inexpensive and nontoxic, vinegar is a winner when it comes to cleaning your home, and cleaning mold is no exception. Just spray it on the mold directly, let it sit for a few hours, and then scrub clean with a sponge. The smell of vinegar is quite strong (my husband always tell me our house smells like a salad after I’m done cleaning) but it will dissipate within a couple hours.
