How Do You Clean A Fireplace Chimney?
It doesn’t take a chimney cleaning company to clean a fireplace chimney. What it does take is a little time, a few tools and careful footing. Creosote is a by-product of the smoke and gases that escapes through your fireplace chimney when you are using it. This creosote builds up on the inside of the chimney walls and this can cause a chimney fire. One solution is to burn hotter fires. You can purchase burning logs that you put in your fireplace and it will make your fire hotter and burn some of the creosote off the chimney walls. Through the wood burning season, we try to use one of these logs once a month. This keeps things fairly clean inside the chimney. But the best way to clean your chimney of the creosote is to actually clean your chimney. We do this each year BEFORE we ever start the first fire and we do this at the end of the fire burning season. The reason we do this before any fire is burnt is to make sure the chimney is clean of debris that may have fallen into the chimney
