Fireplace fronts: Soot can be easily and safely removed with our TerraPlus and a good stiff bristled brush. Saturate the bricks thoroughly and wait 5 to 10 minutes. Then wash again with TerraPlus. Bricks are very porous and most cleaners saturate through the bricks. It takes a time or two to remove most of the soot.

Walls: Our Dry Sponge quickly removes soot from walls without leaving a residue or causing you to deal with messy liquids. The sponge is used dry and wiped across the wall. This is the same way professional cleaners wipe down walls after a house fire.

Furniture: First wipe the furniture with the Mary Moppins Dry Sponge. Use the sponge dry and keep moving it so as not to spread the soot to other parts of the couch.

Then clean the couch first with the Dry Sponge then with a foaming cleaner like foaming tub and tile cleaner testing an inconspicuous spot first. If your furniture is becoming dirty from soot, you might want to invest in some bath towels and cover the furniture. It's much easier and cheaper to wash towels than the couch.
