That's it, the cold is there and it's time to clean the chimney so that you can take full advantage of its pleasant warmth... Follow the guide!
Clean your chimney in 3 steps
First, you pick up the ashes with a shovel (and keep them to clean, when you have one, the window of the insert later on).? Then mix one or two tablespoons of soda crystals in a liter of water and rub the stains with a hard-haired brush.
We Don't let go of anything to eliminate the more persistent soot traces! Remove with a mixture of: 1 cup. At tbsp of soda crystals + 1 cul. A tbsp of liquid black soap + 1 cul. To S. white vinegar poured into half a liter of hot water.
With a damp cloth impregnated with ash that we have set aside and sifted, we finally attack the glass (if it is warm, as with the oven, it is easier). The whole surface is polished in small circles: the abrasive power of the ashes works miracles. All you need to do is rinse with clear water and wipe with a microfibre cloth.
When do we have to have his chimney cleaned?
If cleaning your chimney before the cold season may be a good idea, when it comes to chimney cleaning you have to be even more serious. There is no need to procrastinate, it is the law that defines the frequency with which one must carry out the chimney chimney. And be careful not to overlook: a defect in the chimney is a contravention and may be liable to a fine (up to 450 €). In most cases, the chimney must be carried out at least once a year. But the frequency of this operation can vary according to several parameters:
Vidéo du jour :-the municipality: the mayor is responsible for prescribing the frequency of chimney chimneys for his municipality. To ensure that you are in good standing, you can check with the town hall, the prefecture, or the Departmental Directorate of Health and Social Affairs (DDASS).
-the specific characteristics of heating: the frequency of chiming varies according to the use made of it and the amount of wood swallowed up, it will have to be cleaned more regularly. Some pro recommend a chimney chimney every 5 burned wood stres. Here too, the town hall can give us information.
-Insurance... Can impose a certain pace. In order to ensure that you do not (even more) lose out in the event of a loss, you make sure that you have read the terms of the contract.
