How to Clean a Boiler Flue
- 1). Turn off the power on your boiler and place sheets around the boiler and on the floor around it.
- 2). Put on the gloves, face mask and goggles and climb the ladder to your boiler's flue. Remove the flue cap.
- 3). Push the flue brush into the flue and extend it all the way until it reaches the boiler's firebox. Scrub the inside of your boiler's flue with the flue brush by pulling the brush up and down. Start at the bottom of the flue and work up.
- 4). Remove the brush from the flue and place the cap back on the flue. Climb down the ladder.
- 5). Remove the tarps from the boiler and take up the boiler's ash pan. Dispose of the ash and other debris by burying it.
