Have you wondered how — or whether — you should clean your bioethanol fireplace? Read on, because it is actually very straightforward!
Do I Need to Clean My Bioethanol Fireplace?
The short answer is yes. A bio fire does require some maintenance and cleaning from time to time if you want a charming and well-functioning fireplace for many years to come. However, a bioethanol fire is extremely easy to maintain and does not require a great deal of cleaning — unless it is burning constantly.
Unlike traditional fireplaces, a bioethanol fire does not emit soot or ash, which significantly reduces the amount of maintenance required. That said, black spots can appear on the top and backplate of the fireplace due to contact with the flames. We recommend wiping these away with a damp cloth from time to time to keep the plates looking clean and elegant.
How to Clean a Bioethanol Fireplace
If you would like your bioethanol fireplace to look its best both inside and out, follow these simple steps:
- Keep the area around the fireplace clean and tidy
- Polish the plates inside and outside the burner with a suitable polishing agent
- Make sure the inside and outside areas of the burner are clean
- Wipe the plates with a damp cloth
The cleaning process does not take long, but it will extend the life of the burner and ensure your bioethanol fire always looks its best. In addition, removing any spilt bioethanol fuel reduces the risk of an uncontrollable flame, keeping your fireplace safe to use.
