  1. Go to Lowes or Home Depot they will have a product for you to use.
  2. FIREVIEW Fireplace,Glass & Wood Stove cleaner dissolves creosote from brick & stone, glass doors & hearths www.spraynine.com 800 477 7299
  3. use a rubber eraser on any smoke streaks. if your fireplace has warm air circulators clean the ducts with a vacuum. remove the screen, andirons, and grates and sweep up all the ash with a broom and dust pan. use 1/4 washing soda (detergent section at grocery) in 1 gallon of water. apply it with a sponge (wear rubber gloves as the washing soda is caustic). scrub with a stiff fiber brush and rinse with clear water.
