In this series we are going to tell you how to clean the inside of the fireplace, your chimney and even repaint the inside of your fireplace to make it look new. Okay so now I am going to use my vacuum to try to remove any of those last minutes ashes that I possibly can. On this vacuum I've got one of those brush attachments on it and it is really great.

This is one of our last steps before we are ready to paint our fireplace so we want to make sure and get as much as we can in this step right now. "
