How to Clean a Wood Stove Area Safely

Wood stoves are common in Tehachapi homes. Ash travels farther than you'd think.

Safe habits

  • Only clean when fully cool.
  • Use a metal ash bucket.
  • Wipe nearby walls with damp cloth.
  • Vacuum hearth with a fine filter.

Tehachapi tip

Mountain-home dust is fine and gritty; damp microfiber traps it better than dry dusters.
