Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What type of chimneys can be cleaned with this hedgehog?

This chimney sweep hedgehog is ideal for cleaning chimneys, stoves, boilers and flues of various types, as long as the inner diameter of the flue is compatible with the 10 cm of the hedgehog and the thread of the rods is M12/175.

How do I know if the M12/175 thread is compatible with my rods?

The M12/175 thread is a very common standard in the market for chimney sweep rods. If your current rods have this type of female thread, they will be compatible. If in doubt, check the specifications of your rods or contact a professional.

How often should I clean my chimney?

It is recommended to clean your chimney at least once a year, or more frequently if you use it regularly or burn damp or resinous wood. Creosote buildup is a fire hazard.

Is the hedgehog difficult to assemble and use?

The hedgehog easily screws onto the chimney sweep rods. Its round design and ball shape allow it to slide smoothly inside the flue. While generally intuitive to use, it's always recommended to follow safety instructions for chimney sweeping.

Can this hedgehog damage the inside of my chimney?

Made of steel, this hedgehog is designed to be robust but not abrasive when used correctly. Its function is to remove soot and creosote without damaging the flue walls. Avoid sudden movements or excessive force.
