How to clean creosote off fireplace glass

I recently bought a high-efficiency fireplace (the Brentwood by Lennox). I was so happy to get it and was really looking forward to having lots of fires all winter long.

But when I first began having fires in my new fireplace, I thought I had somehow ruined it! The glass (actually ceramic) was “stained” brown, and no matter how hard I scrubbed, or what cleaning products I had on hand that I used, the glass was still stained, and it seemed like there was no way to get it off.

I looked in the instruction manual that came with my Brentwood fireplace, and it said I should go to the store where I got my unit to buy special cleaning products to get the creosote off. I was thinking, hmmmm, must be some crazy chemicals to get this stuff off … probably expensive, too.

I decided to look online first, to see about what it might cost, research it a little, maybe purchase it online if I find a good deal.

In the process of looking around, I found someone who wrote in a forum that you could use the ashes from the fire to clean the glass. I was pretty skeptical, but I decided to give it a try.

I got a paper towel, wet it and dipped it in the ashes, and after a bit of work, yes, the “stain” did come off. Great, I thought! I don’t have to buy any products!

What I have learned since then that if you use WARM water, it comes off VERY EASILY. It really is amazing!

You don’t have to buy any special products. Just use the ashes from your fireplace to clean the window, then finish up with a damp newspaper … works like magic!
