Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Cleaning fireplace stone
The fireplace stone is a sensitive place that can be cleaned by the home owner or as well you will need the expertise from a professional to get the work done. In normal cases, some scrubbing can also be required in order to get deeper to the stubborn areas. The following tips can help anyone in cleaning the fireplace stone:

The cleaning materials required
It is important to collect all the required cleaning materials in advance so as to save time and ensure the place has been cleaned as required. Some of the essential materials that you need include; warm water, bleach, sponge, TSP, some old pieces of blankest, duct tape, rubber gloves , a stiff brush as well as goggles for the protection of the eyes.

Preparation stage
In this case, you need to mix the warm water with TSP just as the directions imply and the strength of the solution will usually depend on the nature of the fireplace stone. In this case, if it is much dirtier, then the solution needs to be much stronger.

Second stage
Once you have come up with this solution, add some 3 ounces of bleach to the solution as this is to remove any stubborn stains that might have accumulated on the fireplace stone.

Third stage
Ensure the surrounding area has been covered as this is normally to prevent the floor or the other edges from getting leaks during the entire cleaning process. During the scrubbing process ensure you have spread around the blankets in order to trap any water that could be overflowing.

Fourth stage
There are cases where the stains can be persistent. In such a case, make more solution of TSP with warm water and make direct application to the stone, when this has been done, you can then scrub liberally after which you can rinse the whole area by the use of a sponge and warm water.

Final stage
Leave the stone to dry just incase you are satisfied with the cleaning. After airing, you can then get rid of the blankets and towels.

When the above steps are followed, chances are you will get better results. However, as a rule of thumb, you should never attempt to use flammable liquid in cleaning the brick fireplace since it can easily lead to a fire hazard just incase there is an open flame around. The amount of bleach used should be enough for that purpose since much of it can result to the fading of the stone. Whether you are cleaning alone or with a professional expert, it is much better to test the kind of solution you have in another place before you use it for the whole project. Working on a colder fireplace is always a good idea, in fact before the entire cleaning period; ensure you have removed the ash as well as the fire debris. This is usually an easy process that can bring out tangible results when done procedurally and with the right equipments.
