Many people worry that wood-burning stoves will become dirty and difficult to clean, but this is often the case only with older models that weren’t designed for convenience. Modern wood-burning stoves are typically quite easy to maintain. Many feature self-cleaning glass, eliminating the need for scrubbing. Even models without this feature require minimal effort to keep them in good condition and can be cleaned quickly.
A helpful tip for cleaning the glass is to use the ash from your stove. Dampen a cloth and dip it in fresh ash to effectively remove soot from the glass.
When cleaning the exterior of your wood-burning stove, avoid using a wet or damp cloth, as this can lead to rust on the metal. Instead, use a vacuum cleaner equipped with a soft brush attachment for safe and effective cleaning.
