How Do You Clean Soot From Bricks Above The Fireplace?
Removing the soot from your fireplace is not difficult with the help of a cleaner. But it can get a little messy if you’re not careful. Follow these steps. Place drop cloth, towel or plastic on the floor under your work area. Fill the bucket with warm water. Begin cleaning. Work from the top of the sooty brick wall down. Saturate the sponge with water and thoroughly wet an area of the wall. Spray the foaming bathroom cleaner liberally over the wet area. Take the scrub brush and scrub the foam cleaner into the brick. The foam will take on the color of the fireplace soot. Dip the sponge into the clean water and wash the foam away. You will see a noticeable difference in the brick. For tougher fireplace soot buildups, repeat the process.
