A chimney brush is a tool that is used to clean the chimney flue, a task that can be accomplished by the do-it-yourselfer. Cleaning the inside of your chimney will help prevent fires and harmful fumes from coming into your home. It is recommended that you clean your chimney at the end of the heating season, or before making the first fire of the season.

While a chimney brush may seem like a simple thing, there are a variety of styles, shapes and sizes. Today's modern brushes are far more advanced than those in the past; no more one size or type fits all. Your chimney brush must be correct for your application.
