Independent test results demonstrate that using a single Chimney Sweeping Log can reduce creosote deposits by up to 65% (72% by weight)!
It not only reduces the weight and thickness of the deposits, but will also reduce the flammability of any remaining deposits, which are also then more brittle and less dirty. This makes visual inspections and any subsequent mechanical sweeping, easier, cleaner and much more efficient!
The more creosote that your chimney has, the more difficult it will be to clean your flue. (In some extreme cases, it might even be necessary to replace the flue).
Only a qualified chimney expert will be able to determine your overall chimney condition. If you are uncertain about its condition, have an expert do the inspection.
Regular use of CSL, will continue to reduce the dangerous build up of creosote in your fireplace or wood-stove, thereby keeping it cleaner and safer to use.
For fireplaces that have not been cleaned for some time or have excessive creosote build up, we suggest burning a second log approximately 30 days following the first one, to further reduce built up levels.
