Best Fireplace Chimney Brushes of 2025

"I found this product to be easy to assemble and it worked perfectly to clean out my dryer vent. I was able to remove a significant amount of lint in about 15 to 20 minutes. However, I wish it came with a better storage solution instead of just the original box."

"As a contractor, I was pleasantly surprised by how well this tool worked on a 30 ft dryer vent that hadn't been cleaned in years. It saved me time and effort, and I didn't encounter any issues with the tool getting stuck or breaking. Highly recommend for anyone needing to clean long ducts!"

"I recently used this kit on my 5-year-old dryer vent, and I was amazed at how much lint I removed. It was simple to use with my cordless drill, making it an inexpensive way to maintain efficiency and safety. The only minor drawback was needing pliers to separate the sections after use."

"I ordered this in 2020 and have been using it for four heating seasons. It allows us to easily clean our own chimney without needing to climb ladders. After applying graphite to the button ferrules, detaching the sections became a breeze, enabling me to do the entire job myself!"

"I just finished my annual cleaning using this item. I was anxious about the soot and creosote build-up but was pleasantly surprised. The whipping trimmer line made the task incredibly quick and I was done in just 25 minutes. Cleaning from the bottom was not only easier but also much safer!"

"I paid $275 for a professional cleaning previously. This product proved to be a great investment; it effectively removed all types of chimney build-up. I was impressed by how much it could handle, saving me both time and money in the long run."

“I installed a stainless steel liner about 10 months ago and realized I needed to clean it when I noticed buildup around the top cap. This kit was incredibly easy to use, and the flexible extension pieces worked like tent poles. I started with one piece and was amazed at the amount of buildup I found. Now, the fire burns more efficiently and produces more heat. I’m glad I cleaned the liner and plan to do it twice a year to reduce fire risks.”

“This product is a great way to clean my chimney without climbing to the roof. Safe and easy to use!”

“I had to use this product three times for my camping stove pipe. The brushes held up well, and it got the job done quickly, which is crucial when camping in freezing weather. No solvents or detergents needed, and for the price, it’s not bad at all!”

"I purchased these rods to use with the Midwest Hearth Poly Chimney Cleaning Brush. They have just the right amount of flexibility to clean my chimney from the bottom, even though it was filled with crusty creosote. This combination worked perfectly!"

"After paying $130 to have my chimneys swept, I decided to buy a brush and these rods. I noted that they were the same ones used by the chimney sweep. The quality is decent, and they perform their job just fine."

"I had trouble finding a brush that fit the threads, but after rigging something up, it works great! I’ve used it once a year for the last three years to clean my wood stove chimney, and it’s been worth every penny."

"I found it super easy to use by following the straightforward instructions. The rods are strong and flexible, and for my own assurance, I added a bit of electrical tape around the rod joints after connecting them. The kit did an excellent job removing built-up soot and creosote, and I saved at least $300 by cleaning the pipe myself. At nearly 70 years old, if I can do this, anyone can!"

"Initially, I ordered this item with some trepidation, considering the mixed reviews. While I hoped for a few good uses, I had to tape the ends together because the locking mechanism wasn't well-designed, causing the poles not to click into place. Unfortunately, we couldn't clean our chimney and had to invest in a higher quality metal brush and sturdier poles. I urge potential buyers to be very cautious about this product's poor quality design."

"My experience with this product was frustrating. The tabs that hold the pieces together came apart too easily. After spending 6 hours taking my chimney apart to retrieve the pieces stuck inside, my living room ended up covered in soot. I strongly advise against purchasing this product and recommend investing in a professional set or hiring a professional instead."

"I purchased the Chimney Sweep Kit to clean my wood burning stove. This was my first time doing a cleaning, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The product did what it said it would! The rods were flexible and easily bent with the contour in my chimney pipe. I had no issues extending to the length that I needed. I captured a lot of debris, showing the brush was effective in removing the build-up. I recommend having a shop vac on hand for dust, and I wiped the rods off to avoid additional mess. The brush and rods were in good condition afterwards, making it reusable for next year. For the ease of use and results, the price is also very fair."

"I recently got the Sealegend 26 Feet Chimney Sweep Kit from Amazon, and I’m thoroughly impressed! The delivery was incredibly fast, which was perfect for my cleaning project. The kit is well-designed and easy to use, with 26 feet of nylon flexible rods that reach even the tallest chimneys. The rotary cleaning system worked like a charm, thoroughly scrubbing away all the built-up soot and creosote. Assembly was a breeze, and the rods connect securely. Using it with my drill saved a ton of time compared to manual scrubbing. I highly recommend this reliable and affordable solution!"

"As someone who has experienced a chimney fire, I always ensure my fireplace is cleaned regularly. I thought I would give this Chimney Sweep Kit a try since the cost of professional cleaning has skyrocketed. This kit comes with everything you need! I used a steel wire brush for some debris in the firebox. I taped the plastic over the opening after inserting the cleaner head and added more rods easily. The results were impressive—the chimney was almost spotless. Disconnecting the rods required some patience, but it was worth the investment for a clean chimney every year!"

"I ordered this product for my wood burner chimney. Birds build nests in it every year, but this year was a breeze! I got two sets for our 35' tall chimney, and it really did the job. Highly recommend this product!"

"While the concept is great, I found that the poles kept falling apart during use. I even had to duct tape them together, which was frustrating. I would suggest looking for a better quality product instead."

"The sweep itself seems well-built, but the pieces didn't stay together when I started cleaning. It came apart halfway up the chimney, and I had a difficult time getting it out. A new design is definitely needed."

"I chose to clean my own chimney instead of hiring someone, and it was completed quickly in less than 30 minutes."

"I was amazed by how well this worked! After inspecting my chimney, the results were exactly what I wanted — a clean chimney!"

"This product made the task enjoyable and satisfying. I’d say it’s my best purchase on Amazon thus far!"

"I purchased this kit to clean my parents' 40-year-old fireplace. After seeing a $950 quote from a professional, I decided to tackle it myself. This kit is a bargain with its helpful accessories and simple setup. I found the goggles initially hard to see through, but removing the protective film made them crystal clear. The flexible rods connected easily, but I had to ensure the locking button popped up fully to prevent slippage during use. Overall, I was thrilled with the outcome—a wonderfully clean chimney in just 10 minutes!"

"My husband and I decided to clean our Vermont Castings Encore wood stove ourselves after two winters. We opted for the 33-foot kit, which came with everything we needed. Assembly was a breeze, and the stiff bristles worked wonders. I was able to push the brush all the way to the pipe cap on the roof. We used a drill to spin the brush, and soon enough, soot started falling into the stove! We repeated the process until no more soot came out. This kit made our job so easy, and I was impressed with how well everything fit together!"

"Using this kit saved us money compared to expensive chimney cleaning services. The design is great, but we did experience a minor issue—the attaching clip ends broke on a couple of rods, which caused them to get stuck in the chimney for a bit. A sturdier clasp would improve this product, but overall, it’s a good investment since we can use it again next year."

"This product works well for my needs. I find it easy to put together and take apart."

"I was disappointed with the brush; it felt very cheaply made and flimsy. It only removed some ash and soot but didn't tackle the creosote at all. However, if you use powdered creosote to burn it to ash, this tool might help with cleaning dust and soot."

"I found this tool very easy to use from inside my home. I moved my stove to clean the pipe, and with the extensions, it was simple. It did a great job inside the pipe, and I love how it comes apart for storage."
