Peter Enjoying the warmth and atmosphere of a stone fireplace is great, however along with that homely heat comes a need to clean and care for the fireplace, so it can be used all year round.
To clean a stone fireplace it’s important to use the right cleaning products. For tiled stones, a tile and grout cleaner is great for effectively cleaning the tiled surfaces and the gaps in between. It also helps to clean wax sealers, grease, grime and general build up. For fireplaces that have a smoother finish, a grout cleaner can be used too and will clean it in much the same way.
An important thing to remember when cleaning a stone fireplace is not to use cleaning products that strip the sealant from the stone. Certain products can be particularly abrasive against the sealant, which helps to protect the stone surface from heat and heat related dirt build up.
