Bricks & Stones
You can remove smoke stains out of stone or brick around your fireplace with coke. Have nylon brush and a bucket of very hot water handy. Pour the Coke on the smoke stain and immediately brush it back out with the nylon brush. Rinse the stones and/or bricks with hot water making sure to get all the coke and blot dry.
Fireplace Glass
Spray cool glass with a mixture of ½ cup vinegar, 1-tablespoon ammonia, and 1-gallon clear water. Rinse. Repeat if necessary.
White wall tire cleaner melts most smoke stains off glass fireplace doors. Spray it on, wipe it off and then finish the job with window cleaner.
