Wood-burning fireplaces should be cleaned annually or after every cord of wood burned. Gas fireplaces should be inspected and cleaned every year, depending on usage.

Creosote is a flammable tar-like buildup that forms when wood burns incompletely. It sticks to chimney walls and can ignite, causing dangerous chimney fires that can spread to your home.
