What's the best way to remove soot stains from painted white brick?
Q: We painted our brick fireplace white. But after some use, smoke has stained the brick. What's the best way to clean it?
A: Soot is mostly carbon particles, but it often has a greasy nature that makes it difficult to remove. If you search online, you'll find numerous solutions, including vinegar, dish soap, TSP (trisodium phosphate), Scrubbing Bubbles, and the Smoke Soot Eraser Sponge and similar products.
