Why You Need A Clean Gas Fireplace!
If you have a gas fireplace, it’s important to keep it clean. A dirty gas fireplace can be a fire hazard and can also lead to poor indoor air quality. Here are some tips for cleaning your gas fireplace:
- Turn off the gas to your fireplace. You’ll find the shut-off valve near the fireplace.
- Remove any debris from the fireplace, such as ashes or logs.
- Vacuum the area around the fireplace to remove dust and dirt.
- Use a mild soap and water solution to clean the outside of the fireplace.
- Once everything is clean, turn on the gas to your fireplace and test it out by igniting the fire.
