Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How to decide on the right size of the brush to clean your chimney
There is no type of the standard brush for the chimney and before anyone can decide on the type or the size of the chimney brush to use, he has to be aware of the dimensions of the fireplace or of the woodstove chimney. In order to measure the dimensions of the chimney, you have to go on the top of the roof. You have to always be careful when it comes to go up of the chimney in order to get its measurement.

For a pre-fabricated chimney, it is important to remove the chimney cap and to measure the distance by the use of the inner diameter of a chimney. The poly brush is required for the metal chimney since it will not scratch or wear down the stainless steel lining found inside.

If you have a masonry chimney, it is good to measure inner flue liner dimension on the two directions. You have to buy the brush which is big as the chimney liner or it will not be able to reach the side walls of the chimney and it will not be able to do adequate job. In case the chimney brush is too big for the inside of the chimney, it will not enter into the chimney easily but it can still work if it is not oversized. While buying for the oval chimney liner, the user may buy the brush which has larger rectangular dimension and it would snip off the tines in order to make it look oval. There are some oval sized chimney brushes that are available.

The chimney brushes may be circular, oval, square or rectangular in the shape. The standard chimney brushes are found in different sizes which are from 5 up to 12 inches. However, there are manufacturer who offer the custom made brushes. Regardless of the shape or the size of the brush, the shape has to resemble that of flue and the brush should not be of more than 0.5 inch in the width of the flue diameter. When the brush is too large, it is going to hamper the cleaning of the chimney.

In addition of the chimney brush size, the material is also important. The brushes can be made in the metal or in the polypropylene. While choosing the brush, the base decision has to be based on the chimney that a person has at his home. The brush accessories are also important. While shopping for the brush, the user has also to buy the brush rod that can help in reaching the inside of the entire length of the chimney. The brush rods are found in different sizes according to the material which is used. The rod can be stiff or bendable depending on the material. The user can take into account the number of the curves or the length that he needs before he purchases the brush rod. When the chimney is too dirty, the user may need to invest into the chemical cleaning spray and it helps in removing the creosote which is dangerous.
