Supplies for Cleaning a Fireplace

A fireplace is an architectural structure consisting of a space designed to contain a fire, generally use for heating but occasionally used for cooking as well. The space in which the fire is contained is called a firebox or firepit, while a chimney or flue allows gas and exhaust to escape the building. In colder climates throughout the world, the fireplace has traditionally been a central feature of the household as it gives warmth to aid survival through colder temperatures. The sensation of direct heat and the beautiful visual stimulation provided by wood fires make its use enjoyable in cold conditions, or to create a desirable ambiance.
