Cleaning the inside of a fireplace can be a daunting task, especially when dealing with fine and lightweight ash that can spread easily. However, a simple hack can make the process much easier and less messy. By sprinkling used coffee grounds over the ashes, the added weight prevents them from flying everywhere when sweeping, making cleanup a breeze. This trick can also be useful when vacuuming up ash, but it's essential to note that household vacuums should not be used for this task as they can cause damage or even start a fire. Instead, consider investing in a specialized vacuum designed for fireplace ash cleanup. This hack is a game-changer for anyone who loves having a cozy fire but hates the mess that comes with it.
