PW Interior Fireplace

[RChris57]

Ok, we are pw the exterior of a house tomorrow that is a flip house. Inside of the house, main floor is slab, no carpet currently.
The contractor asked if we could pw the fireplace. Hm. Now, we may tackle it, with shop vac on hand to suck up water from concrete floor. I guess we can tape up some plastic on the walls surrounding the fireplace. My only question is, what kind of cleaner works on soot?

Anyone else done this before, or have any thoughts on it?

I would try Zep A One is specially designed to clean hard surfaces and those resulting from fire and smoke damage of carbon and soot deposits. It cleans concrete and masonary, brick, tile. This description came right out of their catalog. Years ago I used to sell Zep products and they are top of the line although the can be pricey. google Zep for a local rep, he may give you a sample.

Prosoco has a specific detergent for that. I'm sure there are others, like zep. Just a matter of accessability.
