How To Clean The Fireplace Bricks

Fireplaces are a beautiful and cozy addition to any home, but they can also be a bit of a pain to clean. The good news is that cleaning fireplace bricks is not as difficult as it may seem. Here are a few tips that will help you get the job done quickly and easily.:

1. Gather your supplies. You will need a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment, a bucket of warm water, a few drops of dish soap, a sponge or cloth and a pair of gloves.

2. Prepare the fireplace. Remove any ashes or debris from the fireplace. If the bricks are very dirty, you may want to sweep them with a soft-bristled brush or vacuum them with a soft brush attachment.

3. Create a cleaning solution. Add a few drops of dish soap to a bucket of warm water. Mix well.

4. Clean the bricks. Dip a sponge or cloth into the cleaning solution and gently scrub the bricks. Be sure to rinse the bricks with clean water after scrubbing and use a dry cloth to wipe away any excess moisture.

5. Dry the bricks. Open the fireplace damper and allow the bricks to dry completely before using the fireplace again.
