If it is a flat brick, you can use theMagic Eraser to clean it. I had graffiti on mine from the previous owners and tried just about everything to clean it, but found that the Magic Eraser worked very well at not only getting rid of the writing, but also getting rid of the smoke and soot from the brick.
I bought mine from the dollar store and they worked fine, although they don't seem to last as long as the Mr. Clean erasers. But it's a cheap investment to see if they work for you.
Scrubbing Brush & Soap and Water. Beware over splashes...........
if it's a textured brick , which is what I have , I first use my sweeper with the brush attachment to remove the dust.. then a scrub brush & a cleaning solution and scrub ONE way to minimize splatter.. works great , also lay down a tarp or news papers to protect flooring from Drips
A wire brush and some elbow grease.And don’t forget to lay old sheets down on the floors as it will get messy.Plastic sheeting from your supply store will also work.

Vacuum first, then use a wire brush.

What you need is a Cowel over the top edge of the fire opening to stop the smoke from escaping up. Fireple shops should have them or a Blacksmith can make you one.
