Cast Iron Stove Grates
My new gas range has two large cast iron grates that each cover half of the cooking area. I feel like when I wipe them anything I use kind of shreads and leaves pieces behind. For example, if I used a blue sponge there would be tiny blue specs on the grates when I was done. What do other people use as cleaner and what kind of cloth to remove grease or cooked on food, etc.?

I have the same problem!
I've used multiple cloth types and I feel like nothing can withstand the cast iron.
I found something on Pinterest that helps. Place the cast iron grates in either a large Ziploc bag or container with ammonia. The ammonia doesn't need to be covering the entire grate - the fumes from it are all you'll need. Seal the bag or container and place it outside on a porch (when I tried this, my bag broke and leaked ammonia on the counter...not fun!). Wait a few hours, then retrieve the grates from the ammonia - the fumes will make any and all grease/food particles/etc. wipe right off with a clean, damp washrag.
Hope this helps!
