Steps to follow – Sargent Steam Cleaner Fireplace Cleanup:
- Vaccuum up loose ashes first
- Attach the nozzle to the hose and add a 2 inch soft or stiff (you decide) brush
- Dip your brush in a bit of bar soap to speed up the process – it really cuts through the carbon
- Use the low or medium steam setting to clean off ashes, carbon film, dust and soot etc.
- Start from the top and work your way down picking up the drips
- Rock, brick, stone, marble…pretty much any fireplace material is safe to steam clean
- Steam the mortar or grout with a smaller 1 inch brush and test whether you like the soft bristles or stiff
- Remove ashes and soot from the screens and the doors
- Don’t forget the fireplace tools as well
- Wipe up moisture with a paper towel – it’s likely to be pretty black so save your washable cloths for another use
- Now tidy up the mantle and hearth – use the two step (spray and wipe) or cover your brush with a cloth
- Blast dust from the pictures, plants, candles, etc. that decorate your fireplace
A Sargent Steam Cleaner fireplace cleanup success story from Kim Dapper…
My amazing Sargent Steamer was put to the test! My rental condo had 15+ years of built up soot on the face of the fireplace from improper use and surface-only cleaning from my property management team.
I was told by masonry professionals that an acid wash would probably be the only way to clean the rock. Not so! After purchasing my Sargent, I used the one-inch nylon brush and bar soap — the black soot ran down the rocks like a river.
What a fun discovery — beautiful, colorful rock underneath! No acid or chemicals needed and now maintenance is quick and easy after each ski season. My Sragent Steam is one of my best investments EVER!
