First of all, it is necessary to clean the pipe along the entire length since its exit on the roof. In order to clean the pipe, close the latch in the house, which regulates the outlet from the pipe.
Prepare a thick long chain or stick. In extreme cases, a cable with a tightly coupled cargo will do. Climb on the roof. Start driving along the inner edges of the pipe from side to side. It should be done for a long time, as already mentioned above, soot has a very greasy consistency and it is difficult to scrape it off the first time. After cleaning the pipe you can go down from the roof. Now it's time to clean the chimney in the stove.
Turn the oven latch several times and push it in. This will help the soot fallen from above to pass down to the lower chimneys. From inside the furnace it is also necessary to clean the base of the pipe and the wells.
After that, open the furnace wells. Every owner knows where in their stove they are. Usually they have a door. Depending on the model of the stove, there may be 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 wells. Opening the wells, scoop the soot out of them. In the upper part of the wells, it is necessary to clean it with a brush. Close the wells. Dilute the clean clay. Spread the formed cracks. Allow to dry. Dilute the clay mixed with sand. Wipe the cracks. All whitewashed with lime or water-based paint. Only with this type of cleaning the stove will be well heated and will not smoke. This procedure makes the furnace process safe.
If you bought a house with a fireplace or stove or just decided to have a general cleaning, you will have a hard time - cleaning chimney. The complexity of cleaning is in the specifics of Russian pipes, which, as a rule, are narrow and uncomfortable. Therefore, in order to qualitatively clean the inside of the pipe, you should perform the following series of actions.
Instructions
Start cleaning from the top. Starting this operation from the fireplace or stove is almost useless, since by the end of harvesting everything will be dirty again. Therefore, lock the lower output chimney or close the fireplace itself. If there are no doors, find some insert that you could use as a stub. This is a prerequisite, since the pieces of soot that fall from the top are so great that they create huge clouds of mud, capable of bringing blackness to the whole room.
Buy a special brush in the building shop for pipe cleaning. Do not use a wound rag on a mop, as it was often done before and is done now. You do not get rags and can not clean the soot from the pipe. Much easier and subsequently more economical will be to buy one cleaning set of brush and replaceable brushes.
Use ordinary detergents or buy a specialized anti-soot. In any case, it starts with the pipe itself, gradually sinking lower along it. Do sweep by cleaning 10-15 centimeters, changing every 10-15 seconds the side that is being cleaned. After one such compartment is completely cleaned, be sure to wash the brush before the next one. If you only do a dry cleaning, then simply scrape off the overgrown soot layers and clean the brush as necessary.
Wear at least protective goggles when cleaning the second part from the bottom chimney. It is best to have a full-fledged mask, since this procedure is really dangerous. After you have completed all the walls, it is worthwhile once again to walk along the pipes, washing off the remnants of the cleaning agent.
