Frequently Asked Questions

What type of chimneys can I clean with this hedgehog?

This chimney sweep hedgehog is suitable for cleaning most chimney and stove flues, including wood, pellet and gas stoves, as long as the flue diameter is compatible with the size of the hedgehog and the appropriate sweeping rods are used.

How do I know if the M12/175 thread is the correct one for my rods?

The M12/175 thread is a very common standard size for chimney sweep rods. If you already have a rod kit, we recommend checking the thread type at the end of the rod. If in doubt, consult the specifications for your rods or contact a professional.

How often should I clean my chimney?

The recommended cleaning frequency varies depending on how often the chimney is used. Generally, cleaning is advised at least once a year, or more frequently if the chimney is used daily or if resinous woods that produce more soot are burned.

Can nylon damage the walls of my chimney?

The nylon bristles of this hedgehog are designed to be firm enough to remove soot and debris, yet soft enough not to damage common chimney flue materials such as brick, stone, or metal.
