Cleaning Creosote off Glass Fireplace Doors
 

Anyone have any good methods? I tried creosote cleaner,
but I still have to scrub with a green scouring pad to get the
junk off.

Thanks,

Any kind of liquid cleaner. Spray it on and spread it around on
the glass. Let it set a few minutes. Rub it with a balled up
sheet of newspaper dampened with the cleaner and dipped into the
fireplace ash.

Mineral spirits would probably work - I used to use ms to remove tar.
Be sure, if you use mineral spirits, that all traces are gone before you
light a fire. I know you know better - just had to say it :o)

Washing soda. Available in most grocery stores in the same section as laundry
detergent. Dissolve 1/4 cup in a quart of warm water. The goo will wipe off.

For the glass on a wood-burning fireplace, the unbelievably simple
solution is to use the wood ash itself. Dip a wet paper towel in the ash,
rub it on the glass, dissolves the stuff in about five seconds. Wipe it
clean with another damp paper towel. Way easier/cheaper/eco-friendlier
than anything else I can think of. As I said, unbelievable.
