Fireplace Cleaner Refill by Quick 'n Brite, 64 oz - Includes free brush; Non-toxic; Cleans glass, brick, tile, stone, river rock; Removes soot, smoke, creosote & more

I have a fireplace with decades of soot buildup from the previous owners. just one round of this took off a LOT of it - still have a bit to go but it looks much better now.

The only product that worked for me. I have a natural stone fireplace surround, with a concrete hearth, that had about 75 years of soot and stains. I tried countless other cleaners specifically formulated for fireplaces, along with recommended cleaners from YouTube, and nothing else did anything more than take a little bit of soot off the surface. This stuff is a gel that penetrated into the stone and grout surfaces, and with some brushing, it pulled out all the stains. I kept the stone "wet" with gel for at least 10 minutes. Then used clean water and a brush to rinse away the soot. Could not be happier with the results.

So full disclosure, I’m going to whitewash the fireplace tomorrow so I didn’t scrub super hard. I left this on just enough to put the cleaner on with the brush over the full fireplace and then I started at the beginning to wipe it off. I found a sponge was easier to wipe it off. And I also put down the plastic tarp that came with the whitewash kit. And I was glad since the brush sort of sprays it everywhere. Our fireplace hasn’t been used in years and it was the headboard for the bed in that room when we bought the house a year ago. This was the family room in the 70’s. No clue when that room was converted to the main suite. Basically I’m not sure when it was cleaned last but it didn’t seem super dirty. Where you see how well this product works is right above the boarded up hearth. Again, I barely scrubbed and it was left on there for maybe 15 minutes. Based upon just that part, I’d say, it’s a quick and easy product to use with amazing results.

Before we bought out house there had been a fireplace fire. the outside bricks on the top and sides were black. This product is called a 'gel', which is a similar consistency to pudding. If I was scrubbing bricks on the floor - it might have worked better, but the gel did not stay on the sides or top bricks well. It did take some off, but after repeated applications it did not clean the top bricks entirely. The side bricks hardly were touched. I would not recommend this product for the price. The directions say to use the scrub brush or a scrubbing sponge to apply the product - the gel falls off everything. I ended up using my hand and cradling the hand with the gel with my other hand to catch what fell off, which was most of it. Very disappointed.

We had a tenant in our house with a fire place have no idea what they were burning and how. Thank God they didn't burn our house down. I have tried different ways to clean nothing worked. I came across this product on Amazon and the reviews were good so I figure I would try as a last resort, and it was very I expensive so I wasn't losing anything. Although I read the direction I was surprised to see that this was a very thick product. I shot the bottle up to hopefully soften slightly to make it come out of the bottle easier, it did. I sprayed the brick first with water, then applied the gel with the brush and gave it a good scrub then let it sit for 10- 15 min, came back scrub a little more then rinsed off with hot water. It looked good but decided a second coat might make it look better, repeated the process and it looks al.ost brand new. I didn't do the I side yet as I was excited about this product and wanted to do a review first.
