How to Clean a BBQ Grill Grate FAST with NO Harsh Chemicals 

Thank you! Wow! I love your channel it saved me so many times!

hell yeah

Washing soda works better than baking soda. Adding vinegar to either creates a closer to neutral pH solution with a weaker basic or acid level, which is less effective at breaking down charred protein and grease. A GOOD steel wire brush is inexpensive, cleans the corners better than any pad, and is easily cleaned, and if dried with WD40, doesn't "shed" and is reusable many times. "Chemical" spray oven cleaners are a very strong basic solution that contain foaming components only to make it clear to the person where they have been applied.

Combining vinegar with baking soda gives you sodium acetate. Not particularly impressive as a cleaning agent. Both vinegar and baking soda are more useful by themselves. I just crank up the grill and essentially burn all the detritus to ash. At that point, it just flakes off with little to no effort at all.
