if it is brick use muriatic acid but be very careful this will do the job quickly but this stuff is highly toxic so read instructions carefully. I don't know of any other product that cleans brick as this does

I purchased a home with a good layer of soot on the brickwork above the firebox and used TSP (trisodium phosphate) dissolved in water per the packaging instructions. You'll need a towel or sheet to catch the drip and a scrub brush. I got everything I needed at the hardware store. Also make sure to wear some gloves. It worked wonderfully. Best of luck to you!
