The best way to clean a grill is burn everything off. It requires getting your grill to about 600F but at that point everything turns to ash.
I typically get it rippin hot, then scrub with a wire brush, then finish with a towel coated in oil which removes any residue and seasons the grill.
The onion tip is good too.
On the topic of towels, that's another thing I see professional cooks use that home cooks don't....go on Amazon and buy bulk shop towels. They're cheap (about $.50 ea). I use them for basic car maintenance, cooking, cleaning...use them a few times and then just throw them out.
