There is no standard when it comes to a chimney brush. This is because most of the chimneys in the world are different. They come in different sizes and shapes. So when looking at the best way to find a chimney brush there are many things that should be kept in mind.
• First off you’ll want to measure the inner dimensions of your chimney so you can select the proper size of the brush you will need.
• If you have a metal or pre-fabricated chimney you will need to remove the chimney cap to be able to measure.
• For a metal chimney, a poly chimney brush is recommended. This is because it won’t scratch and wear the steel lining.
• For masonry chimney’s you have to make sure you measure the inner flue liner in both directions. You want to have a brush that’s at least as big as the chimney liner.
