Chimney Cleaning Tools

Posted under Cleaning Tips by Shue

A chimney needs cleaning at least once a year. This is applicable for wood-burning fireplaces. A gas fireplace does not produce smoke and also does not form soot on the chimney. If your home is filled up with smoke, the chimney probably needs urgent cleaning.

For this, you will need chimney rod and brushes, a stiff scrubbing brush and a flashlight. Always wear worn out or old clothes while cleaning and use a facemask, gloves and goggles too. You will also require a broom, a metal bucket for collecting soot particles and a ladder. Keep some drop cloths handy for cleaning the inside of a chimney.
