  clothing, so it really makes for the easiest
  cleaning process. Many people also already have
  cream of tartar at home, so it doesnt even
  require a trip to the store.

  combination

  fireplace to catch any liquid that falls.
• Place some of the mixture on the areas of your
  fireplace that have soot stains with a cloth.

  water. If the stain is still noticeable, repeat
• the process until you get the desired result.
