I’m confused. That grill looks clean enough to eat off of.

Are they porcelain coated?

Scrape after each cook while it’s hot. About once a month I use a scraper and scrape all the removable stuff. Then I light it up and let it get super hot so it burns off the rest without starting a fire. And I season the grill grates with oil and an onion

Not that it really matters, but your grates are upside down according to Weber. The skinny side is meant to go down.
I use the grill daddy steam brush. Works great. High heat to burn everything off and ice cold water soaking brush. Steam cleans everything. Then spray some sort of oil. I usually use olive or avocado

High heat after your cook to burn everything off, scrape with a grill brush, then if you want to get real fancy with it, dip a balled up paper towel in vegetable oil and use tongs to wipe down the grates. It’ll help stop rust from forming. Let it start to smoke and then turn off the heat. It’s the same process for a cast iron pan
