Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How to clean your gas fireplace
When it comes to cleaning the gas fireplace, you have to ensure that all the necessary tools are available. The gas valve should be off and the procedures followed should be correct in order to avoid any accidents. Some of the tools you will need include soft cloths, a paint brush, vacuum and window cleaner.

Here are some steps that should be followed when cleaning a gas fireplace:

The gas valve should be off
This should be the first procedure, failure to which can lead to serious accidents. The entire components of the gas as well have to be securely placed. The burner as well as the surrounding area should be vacuumed in order to get rid of dust. The vacuum can also remove any kind of spider webs that could be within the fireplace area.

Dusting
This is the second phase and it should be done with much caution. With the use of a paint brush, ensure that all the dust as well as other particles are removed away from the logs. It is important to make use of the soft bristles and also check out on any areas that could be having corrosion. Just incase you spot any serious damage, then this is the best time to call on an expert to make a replacement before the place is ready to be used again.

Spraying
This is the next process. The window cleaner needs to be sprayed on a some piece of cloth after which the entire process of cleaning the glass will start. Spraying directly is not the best way as it can end up corroding the other parts of the stove. The outer part of the glass has to be cleaned then the inside part as this is the only way that will eliminate the soot from building up.

Wiping
This is usually the final part. With the use of a clean damp cloth, wipe the outer part of the fireplace and ensure that you have not exposed it to brass, gold or any other kind of decorative material. The wiping should be done carefully on all the parts with the use of clean water.

The most important thing before the entire cleaning process is to ensure that all parts are cool, and ensure that you have looked out for any signs of damage, condensation, rust or any blockage. The repairs have to be made with a certified technician so that the fireplace can be used again. The inner parts need to be cleansed at least once in a year, while the exterior parts has to be cleansed monthly, when this is done regularly, then there will be no build up of dust that is easy to remove. The manual will laws show you the parts that you can remove as well as those which can be done by a professional. When this procedure is done effectively, then good quality of heat will be produced and the chimney will serve you longer.
