    1. Mix 1/8 cup of Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) in 1 gallon of hot water.
    2. Apply to the brick using a paint brush or soft sponge. Do not use the bristle brush to avoid spattering the TSP solution.
    3. Rinse completely with warm water.
    4. Repeat if soot or greasy stains remain.

    If you have one. Call a chimney sweep. Otherwise the old fashioned soap water and a bristle brush.
