Powder for cleaning chimneys and stoves. More efficient than aspen, and one can will last for a whole year
Greetings to the readers and subscribers of my channel!
It happens that the draft of old stoves decreases. The wood burns poorly in the stove, it accumulates heat worse. The most unpleasant and even dangerous thing is that when the stove is fired up, the smoke comes out into the room. This is due to soot and ash in the smoke channels. If the stove is folded correctly, then the cleaning doors are opened and the ash is scooped out. If a soot deposit has been deposited in the chimney, then there are such cleaning methods shown in the articles:

Vacuum cleaning will help remove easily destructible plaque and blow ash from the channels. Resinous may remain in the chimney. In addition to logs for cleaning the oven and various folk methods in the form of potato peelings (cleaning with starch), burning aspen, there is a powder for cleaning ovens on sale.
Powder from various manufacturers is on sale. Consider the one that the photos are from HANSA (produced in Lithuania). In appearance, these are such two-color granules:
The composition is quite complex, it is a set of minerals, salts and other chemical compounds: sodium silicate, lapis lazuli, ammonium nitrate, sodium alum, ferrous sulfate decahydrate, calcium chloride, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium percarbonate.
Some of them are combustion catalysts, while others destroy tar deposits in the chimney. Everything that flakes off in the chimney falls down and burns out.
You need to use it when burning dry wood - pour one measuring ladle onto the logs and light the stove. It does not work in burning coals. According to the instructions for complete cleaning of the furnace with a thermal power of up to 25 kW, you need to use 1 measuring ladle. Add with each firebox 10 times. For a furnace with a power of 25-50 kW - 2 ladles each. According to reviews, the effect is observed even with the first use of the powder. It is immediately felt that soot is burning out in the furnace, and at the same time the draft is greatly increased. The cost of powder for cleaning chimneys is 600 rubles. for 500 gr. bank:
On sale there are cans of 500 g and 1 kg. Banks 500 gr. enough for 15-30 oven cleaning cycles, depending on its power.
In addition to the warning that this is still chemistry, and in case of contact with the skin or eyes - be sure to rinse, there is one more warning. Draft may increase and hot deposits will fly out of the chimney with smoke. Potentially increased fire hazard. The main cleaning should be done either in late autumn or early spring, when there is already or still snow. And then add for prevention.
