How To Clean Fireplace Brick Inside

Fireplace brick is a beautiful and durable material, but it can get dirty over time. Soot, ash, and other debris can build up on the bricks, making them look dull and dingy. If you want to keep your fireplace looking its best, it's important to clean the bricks regularly.

Here are a few simple steps on how to clean fireplace brick inside:

1. Gather your supplies. You will need a stiff-bristled brush, a vacuum cleaner, and a mild cleaning solution.

2. Prepare the fireplace. Before you start cleaning, open the damper and remove any ashes from the firebox. You may also want to spread a drop cloth around the fireplace to protect the floor from debris.

3. Brush the bricks. Use the stiff-bristled brush to remove any loose soot or ash from the bricks. Be sure to brush in all directions to get into all the nooks and crannies.

4. Vacuum the bricks. Once you have brushed the bricks, use the vacuum cleaner to remove any remaining debris.

5. Clean the bricks with a mild cleaning solution. Mix a mild cleaning solution according to the manufacturer's instructions. Using a sponge or cloth, apply the cleaning solution to the bricks and scrub gently. Rinse the bricks with clean water and dry them thoroughly.

6. Protect the bricks. Once the bricks are clean, you can protect them from future dirt and grime by applying a sealant. Sealants are available at most hardware stores.

By following these simple steps, you can keep your fireplace brick looking its best for years to come.
