Easy Ways On Clean The Chimney Damper

By Harriett Crosby


A fireplace can be considered as a temperature conditioning machine for it adds heat into the room whenever the weather is cold. When it is not in use, a damper will be its cover to maintain the heat of the room. Chimney is used as a passage by most unwanted animals when it is not in use and so dampers also help to avoid these creatures. And now, there is now ewc damper motor available to make the cover more automated for everyone.

But before you do the task, you have to prepare the tools to be used first. You will be needing the following, broom and dust pan, wire brush, news paper, bucket, clean towel. For the cleaning agents, you will need a tri sodium phosphate, bleach, water. If you think that you still need other things the it is your discretion, just make sure that you got all the essential things.

You can start by sweeping ashes from the fireplace using the broom and the pan. Make sure that you are covering your mouth and nose while doing this because the dust particles might be inhaled and will go directly to your lungs which is very dangerous especially for those who are asthmatic. After that, you need to throw the ashes properly or pour it into you garden as fertilizer.

After that, thoroughly cover the whole floor with news papers in order to protect the floor from another set of soot residues. Well, it is obvious that the news papers will be used as catch basins while you will be removing the instrument. Without these, you will repeat the whole process again and it would take too much time.

The detachment might take time depending on how it was installed, usually they are attached with screws and so you might probably need screw drivers both philip and flat just in case. After that, go to the garbage bin and then mildly shake your hands while holding the item and so that big soot will be removed.

Then, put the damper into the laid news papers on the floor and then hold it for you to the next task. While doing this, you can see large appearance of a black substance called soot. For you to remove the soot, you should use the wire brush. Scrape them slowly so that you can still preserve the thickness of the plate.

In a bucket of warm water, pour the bleach and the tri sodium phosphate and mix them well. Scraping is not enough and so you need to do the same thing using this mixture. After that, rinse it with a clean water so that all the dirt will be removed.

Since you are done doing the chores then it is your responsibility now to clean up the messes and throw them properly. After that, get the vacuum cleaner so that the excess ashes and soot. You can just use the broom still if you have no vacuum.

Ewc damper motor might be useful to some who has an air conditioner for this allows the temperature to distribute fairly. But if you think that your chimney need it, then you should probably buy. Just make sure that it is not fake,
