Cleaning the Fireplace Glass Door

​Cath's tip in the newsletter on how to keep your fireplace bricks and tiles clean inspired me to share my tip on how to keep the glass door of your slow combustion fireplace clean. Simply dampen some paper towel and dab it into some of the fire ash. Wipe this over the inside of the glass door in sections, repeating where necessary to loosen the soot on the door. Use a clean paper towel to wipe clean. No elbow grease required. A clean door allows more heat to be generated into your home and therefore your fireplace will burn more efficiently. Remember safety first, only do this when your fireplace is not lit and is completely cool!
