Luckily, with Quick'n Brite, you can do it in much the same way. The all natural formulation is gentle on surfaces and tough on stains at the same time. It won't ruin the wall or effect the paint. Just take a spray bottle of all purpose solution (3 tbs. in a quart of water) an spray it on the soot. Let it sit for just a bit and then take a damp microfiber cloth and wipe it clean. If the black stain is really bad then you may need to resort to the paste full strength, but in most cases, the spray and wipe method will work just fine.

You would use the same method as outlined above. Because Quick’n Brite is all natural and doesn’t contain harsh chemicals, you don’t have to worry about it discoloring or otherwise ruining any surface you use it on. It is totally safe for exterior brick or virtually any other surface with this type of build-up. Give it a try, and you will have great results.

What do you recommend for cleaning a brick fireplace (exterior brick)? This is the area right above the fireplace and below the mantle, so I don’t want to use anything that will discolor or make a stain or greasy spot. I want to use something safe that will work, but not damage my brick, because it would be very noticeable. I don’t want to ruin the looks of my fireplace.

Thanks so much,
Cindy Brown

Quick’n Brite has been proven to easily remove suit and smoke stains from a variety of surfaces.

Have several old tin toys that have been damaged by soot from a house fire. (Not burned, but covered w/a layer of soot.) Will not come off with a light scrubing w/simple green. Any suggestions are appreciated. Material is stamped tin with a lithographed design on surface.
