    99% of the comments are completely wrong for an outdoor blackstone or other brand flat top griddle. These need to be seasoned like a cast iron otherwise they will rust. No lemon, no vinegar, no grill stones, no soap. All you need is water, scraper, high smoke point oil and towels.
    It's called a blackstone for a reason

      Foreal just get the grill pads there like thick paper towels only one is needed to pick up leftover dirt then one to make sure you didn't miss a spot. That and are you really cleaning that type of grill by doing that. If it's cast iron or something that needs to be seasoned or oil added to prevent rust I understand that but I usto work over a grill similar to that and at the end of the day after cooking, when you go to clean your flat top it's supposed to be as clean as when you first got it, had to scrub it a special way use specific grill pads with a metal score pad to rescore the top and then grill pads to pick the dirt up. So you me this doesn't seem all that clean.

    I cook in a restaurant when closing at the end of the night it’s wayyyyy more in depth than that and it comes out shiny silver. We scrape it with oil and a grill brick, then pour high temp grill cleaner and let it sit for a little bit. Then we scrape it off and throw ice on it to cool it down and get all that gunk off then wipe with towel then white vinegar and wipe again with towel. This is in a restaurant where you are cooking all day on it though it gets very dirty and you need to pull all that oil and food out from the metal

Then I take a piece of scrap meat that I never intended on eating and scrub the surface to wipe off any black flecks of burnt food. No water, no paper towels, no rust, no cooking oil, no steam, works for me.

    (1) water + scraper, (2) water + towel, (3) a small amount of oil to protect the surfaces from corrosion.
    That oil is not to season the surface, it’s a thin layer that reduces corrosion.

    Okay from my time working in fast food I have some things to say. Do not use cold water when cleaning your griddle when it's hot. That temperature difference can damage the griddle. Most definitely get some degreaser that stuff absolutely works wonders and makes I look brand new. If you do use degreaser make sure it's as hot as it can be. Definitely invest in some good scrubbers for your griddle.

    Definitely try the flat top cleaning bricks, no chemicals, cleans it exceptionally well, there’s better options to cleaning but those are a good one, then you can water it down to rinse it and oil it. Just an option if you don’t like the acid/chemical approach, which it appears you don’t.

    So many people here have no idea what they're saying, and what this material is.
    For those who don't understand, this is ROLLED steel, not STAINLESS steel. Massive difference.
    Stainless steel when cleaned will go back to looking just like that-stainless steel. Bright and shiny. This is what you will typically see in a commercial kitchen.
    BUT, this griddle is ROLLED steel.
    You treat it completely differently. It's extraordinarily similar to cast iron, in that it comes in a much brighter shade, but you must undergo a seasoning process, and continue to make sure that the surface stays seasoned. This will not return back to a silver color like stainless steel, and will instead keep a much darker color.
    So yes, this surface is in fact clean. And no, it should not look like shiny stainless steel. Just because you have looked, or possibly even cooked in a commercial kitchen before, doesn't mean that the equipment you used is the same everywhere else. Please do your research before ignorantly misguiding people. Especially when you may end up causing them to inadvertently damage their beloved griddle they forked over the cash for since they took your incorrect advice and shaved off all the seasoning until their griddle became bare metal again.

    Seasoning a griddle you add oil and let it come to smoking point then turning ti off and wiping the excess off when it’s still warm this is what makes it slick not putting oil when it’s cooled down that just attracts dust and other things . No they don’t burn off when it’s hot 😅 .

    This is similar to a restaurant-style cleaning: grill brick, water, ice, scraper, etc. That makes it look shiny and new. However, at home, we leave the seasoning on our griddle. We scrap lightly, wipe off, and reseason all at high heat.
