Product Description

ChimneyRx Paint “N” Peel Fireplace Cleaner is a water-based cleaning poultice that removes unsightly smoke, soot, creosote and dirt stains from masonry fireplace fronts and hearths. No additional water is needed for application or removal. Simply paint the product on the surface, allow it to dry, and then peel it off. Product can be used to clean most all masonry surfaces both interior/exterior, textured or smooth brick, stone, marble, granite, slate, tile, concrete, mortar and limestone. Product may not be suitable for some types of man-made or cultured stone. Note: product may be difficult to remove from extremely textured surfaces or deeply grooved bricks. Always test for compatibility and desired results with your specific surface before proceeding with entire project. Apply product in a small inconspicuous “test” area and allow product to dry completely (24-48 hours minimum) before removing. Heavily soiled areas may require multiple applications.

Dry Time: At 1/8”-3/16” thickness, product will take a minimum of 24-48 hours to dry completely, depending on environmental conditions.

Coverage: 10-20 sq. ft. per half gallon container.

Removal of Dry Product: Product must be completely dry before removing. Starting at an edge, pull the dry film off slowly at an angle with both hands. Be careful not to tear the coating as this may make it more difficult to remove. Product that does not pull off in a continuous sheet indicates the dried film is too thin to peel easily. Re-coat over the thinly applied material with a thick coat of product, let dry completely and re-peel.

Works but is not enough
I was worried from reviews it would either not work or be impossible to remove. It does work, !but! You need a lot of product. I used on the inside of my fireplace, I had to target the worse area bc I knew I would not have enough. Before pic is through a screen -I didn’t do a real before, 2nd pic first application and you can see the tape line, 3rd 2nd coat completed on worst of the worst area, 4th pulled off sheets. Both applications pulled off in one solid sheet. Tip: do not use a roller, in a pinch use the brush, best might be to use a cheap spackle tool thing but i didn’t have that. I used my gloved hand to plop and smear. Worked way better than the brush. I gave 4* bc it does work but could be 3* bc they know good and well 1 container is not enough, kind of a money grab. Though I might buy again in the future it’s something I’ll think about over the year. I hope they offer at least a gallon one day.

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2023
Product was easy to work with and I found other reviews helpful for advice. It is true you need it on THICK. However, it is definitely possible to have it too thick in the mortar where it doesn’t dry as much as needed-it was tricky to get off in some moister spots. The product made the fireplace much better, but as you can see from the photo there is still work to do. You can actually see the outlines of where I taped the product (most of the overall fireplace). I’m still happy because it dramatically reduced what I need to clean by scrubbing, but my results weren’t quite as good as advertised/as other people had.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing! But apply with your hands (with gloves)!
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2024
This stuff really works. But start small and use your hands with thick rubber gloves to apply it.

The stone fireplace probably hadn’t been cleaned in decades. I started with a small section on top right to see how it works. I then applied it by hand with rubber gloves to the entire face. The original top right is now dirtier as I used the supplied brush instead of my hands. Overall, I used four 1/2 gallon buckets.

Photo is: top left: pre-application (except for top right section). Top right: after application. Bottom left: after drying for 24 hours. Bottom right: after removing “face mask”.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product! Worth the price.
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2021
Pleasantly surprised. Never heard of this prior to a verbal recommendation... looks too good to be true, but it does work as described.
I started in one small area to make sure it would not damage the stones or grout. After that test I did the smallest stone with smoke damage, the. Expanded to all snake damage. Every time was surprised and happy with the ease of use and results.
One thing I did different was after applying the first liberal coat, nice and thick, I would waited about 12-16 hours and reapplied a overcoat layer. Then waited at least 48 hrs. Before starting the satisfaction of peeling off the temporary layer to reveal the improvement. Considering I did this three times it made for a long project. And It may have been overkill, but made removal easy and had no issues with any material being left on the fireplace after carefully peeling it off.
The smell is minimal, not an issue for anyone in our home. The worse part is that the appearance of the material is less than desirable during the process, but based on the end results I can not complain at all. Wish I knew of this sooner and had been able to use it in the past.
(Performance on cleaning part of the concrete slab was minimal, but the stone and grout had great results.)
