What should I do if the glass door of a real fire fireplace is cloudy or corroded?

If you have a modern real fire Fireplace in your home, then after many times of use you may have noticed that its heat-resistant glass door panel will have spots similar to dirt and dirt, even if the details of the meticulous ordinary cleaning can not make it clean as new. Although the modern fire fireplace can still operate normally and safely without affecting the use of the case, everyone has more or less a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, although the old saying does not obscure the defects, but often a little flaw will be unlimited amplification, That cloudy yellow stain is not only the culprit that affects your pleasant experience of watching fire but also affects the overall aesthetic and decorative effect. So when the fireplace glass door has such a problem, can only choose to replace the glass? Or is there another way to have the best of both worlds?

In ancient times, medical practice, look, smell and ask the right medicine, so if we want to eradicate such situations, then we must first find the reason for the turbidity and dirt that is difficult to clean the modern real fire fireplace high temperature glass door.

Such problems can be traced back to the source, that is, is there a problem with the wood we use? The experiment shows that when the wood itself is not dry enough, it will release water vapor during the combustion process. At this time, if the wood contains less sulfur elements, it is likely to form condensate on the high-temperature glass door of the modern real fire fireplace; Of course, if the wood is rich in sulfur, according to the chemical reaction formula, it can be found that the sulfur produced by combustion will mix with water to form sulfuric acid, sulfuric acid has more or less corrosive (depending on the concentration of sulfuric acid), and will have a certain erosion of the smooth glass surface in the long run.

On the other hand, when the modern fire fireplace is working normally, the moisture can be evaporated in most cases, and the sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide, which are also combustion products, will now adhere to the inside of the relatively low temperature resistant glass door, and the two will be mixed into a white powder object, this guy is very tricky, whenever you clean with a wet rag, They are like "base areas behind enemy lines" generally hidden to deal with your "sweeping", but after the modern fire fireplace and high-temperature glass door are completely cooled, the two appear again like bamboo shoots after rain and endless wild grass, which you can understand as a cat and mouse in nature. Because this is the fundamental reason why we can not completely remove the pollution of high temperature glass doors.

Now we fully know and grasp the symptoms of high temperature glass door "disease", so as to carry out the following targeted solutions:

1. Use qualified and dry wood for modern real fire fireplaces

This is very necessary, first of all, to curb the problem from the source, make the fireplace high temperature glass door transparent, transparent and new, but also to reduce the accumulation of pyrolusite oil in the chimney, to a great extent to eliminate security risks. Completely dry wood fuel is defined by moisture content, and it is generally believed that the moisture content is less than 18%, which can be used as wood fuel for fireplace; If your firewood is collected by yourself and not purchased through regular channels from regular manufacturers, it is safe to use it when it is placed in a well-ventilated place for natural drying for more than 12 months.

2. Develop the habit of regularly cleaning the fireplace's heat-resistant glass doors

Here to share a small method that may not be clear to many friends, after the modern fire fireplace is completely cooled, we can dip the wet rag with the right amount of pure ash, and then gently wipe the glass door turbidity area, the ash can play a slight friction role, and small enough to drill into the dirt gap, So you will notice that the abnormal color of the cloudy area will slowly change. After finishing wiping, you can choose a clean cloth to clean up.

3. Consider buying a real fire fireplace with an air curtain function

At present, modern real fire fireplaces burning in higher schools on the market generally have air washing function, which can ensure the cleanliness of high temperature glass doors within a reasonable range. Of course, it is also possible that your fireplace has been used for many years, with feelings, not willing to replace, then there is also a way to solve, if you use a real fire fireplace there are two air intakes at the top and bottom, then when its normal combustion work, you can appropriately reduce the intake of the bottom air inlet, adjust the top air inlet to ensure that the combustion is effectively carried out. This operation helps the air to move through the top along the inner surface of the heat-resistant glass, thus achieving a certain air curtain cleaning effect.

4. Never let a modern real fire fireplace smoulder

During the ignition, many friends close the fireplace door in order to make the temperature in the furnace rise rapidly, and this practice is questionable. We should leave a certain gap, the furnace door can not be completely closed, in order to avoid the generation of smouldering, so that the flame continues to burn for 20-30 minutes, the modern fire fireplace will enter the efficient working state.
