I've tried oven cleaner, wilco's barbecue cleaner, white vinegar, brasso and even jiff. Never mind it will be rate 😉👍 Is the glass scratched at all ? If not I'd try oven cleaner. It brings mine up nice. Avoid getting it on your hearth though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was just pure logs that was burnt then I think it would be easy to clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrycatcat1 Posted June 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 I've put new rope around the door and it's as stiff as stiff can be trying to shut it and opening it 😳😳😳😳😳 I have double checked the thickness at 12mm it's only to be hoped that when we've had a fire or two it loosens up. It seems uncomfortably tight at the moment 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soot on a bit of wet newspaper or a wet tea bag is as good as anything to clean the glass . I would not personally use a aluminium kettle due to the well documented risks but it probably won’t matter to many on PW 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not heard about the dangers of an aluminium kettle 🙄 I will look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
