Quick 'n Brite Fireplace Gel Cleaner for Brick, Stone, Rock, Tile, and Marble, Nonabrasive Fireplace Cleaner, Made in the USA, 16 oz (Pack of 2)

Okay. I don't often write reviews, but this stuff just works. We bought a hundred+ year old house with a stone chimney that had been capped due to it being unsafe and the front of the fireplace looked like a fire had been lit in the capped chimney. It was black with soot. We recently had the fireplace and chimney fully repointed and restored, but the soot remained. Quick'n Brite Fireplace Brick and Stone Cleaner worked so much better than I could have expected. In the photo below, the right side has been cleaned and the left has not. In the close-up, the left side of the center stone has been cleaned with the cleaner and the right 1/4 has not. The difference was night and day. With simple instructions and an included brush, the application was easy and the results were amazing. I was prepared to scrub really hard, but it didn't require much elbow grease at all. I am really happy with this product. On top of it all, I did the work without gloves and my hands are fine. They feel like they do after I hand scrub some laundry I've been pre-soaking. The bottle says no harsh ingredients or fumes, and I can attest to that. This stuff is really amazing.

My fireplace hadn’t been cleaned in YEARS. We’re finally resurfacing it so I figured I’d clean the interior as well. I looked through different options and decided to try this brand because of the good reviews and because it came with the scrub brush. Figured it couldn’t make my fireplace any worse, so worth a shot. The product is super simple to use: wet the fireplace bricks, put product on the scrub brush, then scrub the bricks until your muscles burn. Repeat as needed. One tip I learned while doing this is to follow the directions of using hot water. I initially tried with room temperature water, and yes it still works, but not nearly as well. When I heated the water just before the boiling point, it made scrubbing much easier and more effective. I cleaned my fireplace over a two day period since it was so bad to begin with. I also let the product sit on the bricks for the allotted 10 min max each day before scrubbing and wiping it off. It could probably benefit from a couple more scrubs, but it’s getting cold and we’re going to be using the fireplace soon so it’s good enough for now. I plan on really going at it in the spring and getting the bricks looking good then. Thankfully, it comes in a big bottle so I won’t have to buy another bottle, just store the one I have until I need it again. Overall I am pleased with the outcome. It effectively cleaned my fireplace bricks, didn’t stink of harsh chemicals (it smells like finger painting paint), and isn’t toxic. All wins in my book. The only things you need to supply to use this product is the hot water and towels for wiping down after (they recommend microfiber, but I didn’t have any so I used an old towel).

It was easy to apply with the enclosed brush and wiped off with a cloth. No obnoxious odor. Cleaned dirt from finished stones but white marks on unfinished bricks stayed. Maybe need muriatic acid. The finished stones had mop and glo on them and this took off the dirt and some of the polish. We wanted that but not everyone may want it to be stripped off.

This fireplace cleaner smells so refreshing and clean but it doesn’t take off all the soot on brick fireplaces. I scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed, used almost the whole bottle of cleaner, wore myself out and there was a lot of soot still on the bricks. A lot came off, but not enough. I found that dish soap and pine sol took the soot off faster than this cleaner. This cleaner is mild and will not scratch things, the brush that comes with it is nice, the bottle doesn’t leak and I have to mention again that it has a very pleasant smell; however I won’t be trying it on my fireplace again.

This stuff is amazing. And I don't leave reviews unless I am really impressed. I little goes a long way. I could have gotten by with just one 16 oz bottle. Cleaned the stone and the stainless steel fireplace frame beautifully. I thought we would have to tear this out before we sold the house, but this product saved us. See the before and after pics. Thanks.

See the picture posted. That's really all you need to know. 6 week old stone at the base of my fireplace needed cleaning. This cleaner did zero. NOTHING, after following the directions exactly. Then tried again. Look at the base in the picture after 'cleaning'. It looks nothing like the untouched stone on the right side of the picture. If this stuff can't clean 6 week old stonework, it won't clean your old stones. Save your money. (Product is ZERO stars. Amazon forces buyers to give at least one to post)

HOLY COW!!!! I cannot believe how well this product worked. I hadn't cleaned the fireplace stone in 12 years and had resigned myself to living with the discoloration. After just 15 minutes of very light/easy work, my entire fireplace looks like new. In the picture, the stone on the right was just cleaned... and it looked like the stone on the left when I started. I just used a spray water bottle to get the stone wet, then put a quarter-size blob of cleaner on the included brush. I brushed gently for about 20 seconds, and then sprayed it off with the water bottle. The soot just RAN off. It takes a lot for me to be this impressed.... but, man alive, I can't recommend this product strongly enough!

Absolutely amazing product. It took the black off my fireplace with very little work on my part. Also no mess. I wish I took a before and after picture. I totally recommend this product.

I have a fireplace with decades of soot buildup from the previous owners. just one round of this took off a LOT of it - still have a bit to go but it looks much better now.

Not impressed with the results. This took an entire bottle of their cleaning solution. Shipping was super slow. A lot of effort and elbow grease for minimal improvement and left some areas dirtier than when I started. A lot of rinsing required. May be ok for small job. But I personally feel like I wasted my money and 2 hrs of my life
