How Often Does Fireplace Glass Need to Be Cleaned?
Fireplace glass has a tendency to look dusty and dirty, as soot from the fireplace builds up on the surface. Cleaning the glass is an important step in fireplace maintenance, but one that doesn't require weekly, or even monthly, cleaning. Does this Spark an idea?

Time Frame
-
Clean the fireplace glass seasonally, before you begin using the fireplace and then again at the end of the season. Spot-treat the fireplace glass, when the glass begins to look dirty and dusty or more often, if you prefer the glass to have a clear look.
Cleaning
-
Clean the glass with a mild detergent, such as dish soap, mixed with warm water. For dirtier spots or a buildup of soot, consult your local fireplace dealer for a commercial cleaner specifically designed for the glass. Always rinse with fresh water, to remove the residue left behind by the cleaner.

Considerations
-
When the fireplace glass reaches a high temperature, the soot can adhere and almost burn onto the surface. For spots of this type, scrape the soot away with a razor blade.
