How Free Standing Fires Can Transform Your Home

Wood burning fires require regular maintenance and upkeep. You'll need to clean the ash dump regularly and ensure that the stove's vents are functioning correctly. Verify that the ash disposal slides smoothly and that there are no obstructions or creosote buildups within the ash dump. To avoid dust buildup it is recommended to clean the ember beds periodically. You can clean the ember bed using a soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner hose attachment.
Electric fires are also easy to maintain. You simply need to wipe away any dust that has accumulated on the mirrors and ember bed from time to time with an easy cloth or dry lint-free sponge. Depending on the level of dust in your home, you may also need to clean the air inlets of your fire at times. You can do this by removing the glass from the fire and opening the air inlets, which are typically located at the top of each side of your fire. You can clean the air intakes by using a dry rag or the vacuum cleaner nozzle.
