Does Creosote Cleaning Log Work

Many homeowners wonder if the chimney sweep logs or creosote sweeping logs really work to clean out fireplace flues and get rid of creosote residue so that the fireplaces are safe to use. The short answer is no, they don’t work.

How often do you use Creosote Sweeping Log?

For the best results, you should use one log for every 60 fires. If you’re not sure how frequently you use your chimney, keep track of every fire. You might hit 60 fires in two months, or it could take longer.
