For those of you who have a fireplace insert, the question of cleaning the glass quickly becomes -- either a budget -- or a cleaning workload. As the fires are made in the insert, the glass blackens very quickly -- this is a natural effect linked to the production of soot. There are various solutions and products specially designed to clean the glass of your insert -- however, we have tested the most common technique: namely water, newspaper and ashes. Before starting to clean -- place a sheet of newspaper under the glass -- to protect the support of the insert or the ground, from the drops and dust that you can make when cleaning the glass of the insert. Then, the application is particularly simple: dip a cap of newspaper in a glass of water, once damp, dip it in the ashes of your fireplace insert -- and start cleaning. Add more or less water -- and more or less ashes depending on the blackness of the fireplace glass. This technique allows you to remove the most stubborn soot stains effectively. Finally -- use a newspaper that does not have ash to start removing the bulk of the glass from your fireplace insert. The final cleaning is done using a dry cloth or paper towel to obtain a finally transparent fireplace insert glass. This is the most common solution -- it has the advantage of being ecological and economical -- But be careful -- it is still quite tedious to do on a daily basis.
