use water on a newspaper dipped in wood ash to clean the glass

What's wrong with cleaning your chimney in a half-assed way every 12 years?

[missdelish1]

Here's a tip You don't need a bought cleaner. Take well wetted paper towel, then gently dab the paper towel into the fine ashes you are cleaning out of the fireplace and cover the surface of the wet paper towel with the ashes, now start wiping the glass up and down ash side on the glass and like magic the very ash you were about to toss is your natural fireplace glass cleaner. The ash removes unspent carosete and hard to remove resin easily from the glass without a scratch. Best wishes to All .

I found that a simple paper towel (dry) works just fine, for cleaning the glass on the door..........and also.........a dirty glass is an indicator of a lousy burn. If you are in need of glass cleaning of any significance or regularity, I'd revisit HOW you are burning your fires!

Newspapers & "junk mail" are trash, not garbage.

Good information for the homeonwer but I'd really like to see Regency suggest that a professional CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep do the inspection and sweeping. Also a mention that ALL wood creates creosote might be better - the way this is worded it sounds like they can avoid creosote altogether.

Incredibly boring I'm sorry to say.
