Upkeep Tips from Melbourne Wood Heaters
Embrace the warmth and beauty of your wood fire with Melbourne Wood Heaters’ simple weekly upkeep routine. Leave a one-inch ash layer on the firebox floor for a solid foundation for future fires. Once the fire is completely extinguished, grab a dust mask and gloves for safety purposes. Then, remove excess ashes with a metal container. Avoid the temptation to vacuum – hot embers could lurk within! These ashes can be sprinkled on your flower beds, providing a natural source of potassium for your plants.
Melbourne Wood Heaters reminds you to prioritise safety. A strong fire screen keeps children and pets at a safe distance. Avoid placing anything directly on or above the firebox and position furniture a meter away. Keep combustible materials like rugs and clothes far from the heat source. A non-flammable rug protects the floor while acting as a visual reminder to maintain a clear zone. Don’t forget to secure nearby decor and never leave a fire unattended when children are present.
With these tips and Melbourne Wood Heaters’ expert inspections, your wood fire promises warmth, beauty and peace of mind throughout the winter season.
