Product Information

Use a damp crumpled paper towel or newspaper, dip it in fine wood ash and use this to rub the stove glass clean. Plain baby wipes took the surface layer of grime off the glass but didn’t get the real baked-in residue. I really had to work hard at it. If your wood burner is emitting an unpleasant smell, it is unlikely that this is coming from the wood burner or stove itself. The smell is more likely being caused by other factors, including:

It can easily cause scratches on the glass which will then be much harder (or impossible) to clean next time. Deposits will build up in the scratches and make a permanent home there.

Tools such as steel wool or even sandpaper might immediately get rid of the soot on your wood burner’s glass, however it will also leave scratches across the surface. If you prefer a more natural approach, you can make a paste using vinegar and water. Mix equal parts of vinegar and water in a small bowl, then apply the paste to the glass using a soft cloth. Gently scrub the glass in a circular motion to remove any build-up, then wipe it clean with a damp cloth. 7. Avoid using harsh chemicals I used paper bag because we don’t get the newspaper, and I think that’s true of most people these days. Brown paper bag seemed to be a good alternative to cleaning with newspaper. Grab a small, repurposed spray bottle and fill it with distilled white vinegar, water, and dish soap. You can also mix your own DIY glass cleaner with alcohol or vinegar. Spray the wood burning stove glass, let it sit for a moment, and gently rub the soot residue away.

Given that darkening of the glass in unavoidable you will need a way to clean it that will restore it to its sparkling former glory. However, it will come off with the methods we’ve shared above. Try ash and water first, and if that fails, try a stove glass cleaner. Before you start cleaning, place a towel or a protective covering around the wood burner to catch any drips or spills that may occur during the cleaning process. 6. Close the air ventsImproved Safety: Cleaning the glass regularly helps maintain a clear view of the fire, which is important for safety purposes. It allows you to monitor the fire for any potential issues or hazards. To keep your wood burner glass looking nice and clean, it’s important to perform regular maintenance. Here are a few ways you can do this: Dip the damp newspaper in the ashes of the fireplace. Rub the glass with the ash in a circular motion. The ash will work as a mild abrasive, which will help clean the soot without scratching the glass.

Modern wood burners and stoves have an airwash system that should help prevent the build-up of soot on the glass when used correctly. This system should direct a small amount of air across the glass to keep it clear.While the glass on an old fireplace or wood-burning stove will never look brand new again, it can be clear and bright enough to watch the flames again. How To Keep Wood Stove Glass Clean It’s nice to be able to enjoy the flames again The air vents are open too much – if the air vents are opened too much, the stove may not get hot. While the air vents should be opened fully when the fire is being lit to maximise oxygen levels, these can be gradually closed down as the fire gets hotter to ensure too much air isn’t getting to the fire.

Lay crumpled pieces of paper on the bed of the stove to help encourage the fire to spread to the wood.

Because wood-burning stoves run with the door closed, ceramic glass is rated to withstand much higher temperatures than tempered glass. The glass on your wood burner is likely ceramic and might do best with a professional stove glass cleaner. Make sure you have all the necessary supplies for cleaning the glass. This includes a non-abrasive cleaner, a soft cloth or sponge, warm water, and possibly a scraper for stubborn dirt or soot. 5. Protect the surrounding areaNever attempt to clean your wood burner glass when there is a fire burning inside the stove or the surface is hot. When it comes to wood burners, there is nothing more essential than keeping the glass clean. Not only does a clean glass maintain the aesthetic appeal of your stove, but it also allows you to enjoy the glory of the fire inside.
