I throw “garbage” into the firebox and breathe freely all winter: centuries-old soot, as if blown away by the wind

Summer residents and owners of private homes do not all know how important it is to clean the chimney. Due to the fact that soot has been accumulating there for centuries, draft deteriorates. Sometimes this can lead to a fire. To definitely protect yourself and your home from harm, write down a simple and cheap method.

What's the secret?

It turns out that regular potato peelings will help you.

1. It is enough to add 1–2 kg of dried waste to the firebox and heat the stove or fireplace in the usual way.
