I have red brick fireplace. the bricks around the fireplace door is stained heavly with smoke. Do anyone have idea how to clean the stain off?I used TSP to try to wash it off. It just doesn't work.
Please, I'll appreciate anyone who can help.
thanks

To clean smoke damaged brick around a fireplace (Interior) or (exterior), use clorox and water 50/50 mix in a spray blottle. Soak it good but remember to protect other surfaces (hardwood floors, carpet, decks, etc.). For real bad stain, use 100% clorox. Let it stand and watch it work. The brick and motar begin to look like new right before your eyes. You don't even have to rinse as that could make a mess. The stains literally just disappear.
