Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Chimney Creosote Odor – How to Get Rid of It?

The appearance of the creosote is not only ugly and messy, the smell of it is more unpleasant than what it looks like. The odor is unique and you can easily identify it because the smell is so strong especially if the space in your house is not that big. You can compare the smell of the creosote to the smell of fresh asphalt. It has a smoky smell that is also comparable to a tar. It can easily be detected if the odor spreads inside the house. Its odor can be avoided, unless you have chosen to neglect it which is a big fire hazard and safety risk you are taking.

Cleaning the chimney will lessen the degree of the creosote smell inside the house, but not totally remove the smell. If you want to prevent the odor from spreading inside the house and save humiliation from your visitors, you should close the damper. You can also use some air fresheners to cover up the smell. The odor can stick to your clothes and furniture so be sure to spray a deodorant or an air freshener on your furniture but wash your clothes to remove the smell.

You can also minimize the smell by using baking soda or cat litter in the fireplace. If you can smell the creosote, it is a sign that you need to have a chimney sweep visit your house for an inspection. Do not use the fireplace if the creosote odor is so strong that you can't take it anymore. The odor usually permeates in summer when the temperature is hot and weather is humid. You can try to seal the fireplace with a smell insulator type of wood like a cork board.

Burning green/wet woods is the prime cause behind the overabundant formation of creosote. However, there are some other reasons like insufficient amount of combustion air that can trigger the creation of creosote. You do not want some guest to come to your house and get this odor. So, it's always better to address these points first and the formation of creosote can be reduced. It is not possible to prevent creosote altogether, because it is a natural byproduct of lighting fires, but you can get it cleaned regularly by a qualified chimney sweep to avoid having an odor in your house. You can also follow the steps mentioned above to get rid of this odor quickly. Always hire a good chimney sweep to keep your chimney in good health so you can make use of it for a long time to come.
