I need to find out how to clean an wood stove. we have one in our new house, but its filthy and hasn't been cleaned in years i would guess. don't know where to start.

is it a black one??I assume your talking about the outside of is

we had one in our last house that was heaving and this is how I cleaned it
be prepared to get filthy dirty  

rubber gloves and hot hot soapy water   washing soda and washing up liquid good

slosh it all over then wipe off  repeat  repeat  repeat  changing the water often

any lumpy bits  soak them and get back to them, if necc   spray with vinegar and bicarb mix  leave to soak

then scrape off with flat of knife or screwdriver

then, when its all clean and dull     buy some ZEBO  blacking polish

you can usually find it in the supermarket  if not  a fireplace shop should sell it

follow the directions on the tube and polish it up and you will have a lovely shiny  fire.


for the glass door if it has one, use a ceramic hob scraper to get the lumps off then use hot hot soapy water then use window cleaner to polish it up

;D


you can buy it Zebo here

it lasts for years
