Hey Micky D's employees. I've been working for McDonald's for half a year now and I'm trying to find out the best and most effective way to clean the grill there. The procedure I'm encouraged to use here in Quebec, Canada goes as follows:
1) Turn the grill on CLEAN MODE.
2) Steam-wash it with a grill cloth (I usually do it twice).
3) Pour out two acid packs (one for each half of the grill surface) on major "black spots" then scrub it all over the place and on the top parts.
4) Lay down the tops for 10 minutes to let the acid "sink in" and get all the carbon build-up out.
5) Scrub some more.
6) Another steam-wash and you're done.
This works fairly well enough but I'd really like to get my grill as clean as possible! Any (proven, logical) tips??

I agree with the two that said to use pickle juice....thats what my store manager told me to use. Since you are in Canada you most likely have vinegar in your store, so that works even better than the pickle juice. It really gets rid of the brown residue. I work for a Mc Donald's here in Washington state and the women that work in the grill also use the handwashing soap with the green pad before the final rinse and it always looks like brand new.

Of course it is fair and legal. The tip jars are also very easy to ignore, so don't tip if you don't want to. I think a better question is why *don't* fast food workers get tips. I would rather see them be allowed to have tip jars instead of taking away tip jars from Starbucks. But one does not affect the other. The food industry has always been a place where people are likely to tip, so I don't think it is comparable to places like Krogers or Sears. Ice cream stores often do have tip jars, although I can't remember if I've seen one at DQ.

I know this sounds totally crazy, but I worked there for 13 years and the magical way to clean it is pickle juice poured on the grill instead of the acid. I smells funny, but it is guranteed to be great.

I can see your point, but when someone strolls in asking for a half and half 32 degree latte with soy and hint of hazelnut and only a pinch of sugar with non dairy whip cream. I think they deserve a tip (I've seen people get away with a free coffee because it was not made to their exact specifications).

I agree I've worked with the company over 15 years and pickle juice really cleans the grill and to get the shine rub soda water on it

Use the other green scratch pad. You know the one that you're not allowed to use.
