Find an experienced fireplace cleaner near you

Not really. When you book a Tasker, they typically come with professional cleaning supplies to help them get the job done quickly and efficiently. These include a full-face respirator, soot and creosote remover, polypropylene brush, and power sweeping system. If you happen to have these on hand, you may ask your Tasker to use your tools instead if that’s what you prefer.  

It usually takes 30 minutes to an hour to complete a fireplace cleaning service. It also depends on what kind of fireplace you have. Cleaning an electric fireplace can take less time than cleaning a wood fireplace. The exact time it takes varies depending on how much work needs to be done. The more dirt, soot, and creosote it has, the longer it takes for your fireplace to be thoroughly cleaned.

It’s advised to clean your fireplace at least once a year. This also depends on how heavy your fireplace usage is. You can tell when your fireplace needs cleaning if there’s an unusual odor coming out of it, smoke isn’t rising up your chimney, and fires are getting difficult to get started. These are just a few of the signs, so consider having your fireplace inspected more frequently to know if it’s time for cleaning. 

For simple dirt and dust accumulation, yes, you can clean your fireplace yourself. But if there’s heavy soot and creosote build-up, it’s best to call a professional. If you own an electric fireplace, cleaning the electrical components can pose a safety risk. Leaving the job to highly rated Taskers saves you time, energy, and potential harm!
