ACS Anti-Creo-Soot Liquid 32 Ounce
### Introduction The ACS Anti-Creo-Soot Liquid 32 Ounce is a transformative solution designed for wood stove and fireplace owners battling the stubborn buildup of creosote. Praised for its effective chemical properties, this product offers an innovative approach to maintaining chimney cleanliness and efficiency. Whether dealing with first-degree soot or the more challenging third-degree creosote, ACS Anti-Creo-Soot Liquid is a reliable ally in enhancing the safety and performance of your heating system. ### Advantages 1. **Effective Removal of Creosote**: Users report a noticeable reduction in creosote buildup, turning hard, glassy deposits into more manageable debris. 2. **Enhanced Heat Emission**: By removing creosote, which acts as an insulator, the product enhances heat output from wood stoves. 3. **Quick Results**: The chemical conversion is evident immediately, with users observing materials falling within the chimney shortly after application. 4. **Restoration of Stove Components**: It helps in freeing stuck parts, like heat reclaimers, which might otherwise need replacement. 5. **Preventive Maintenance**: Regular use helps prevent the accumulation of tough creosote layers, thus avoiding costly professional cleaning. 6. **Ease of Use**: Convenient spray application facilitates easy use and control over distribution. 7. **User-Tested Endorsement**: Recommendations from both individual users and professionals. 8. **Multi-surface Cleaning**: Helps in cleaning stove glass as well when used with additional materials like ash. 9. **Non-Scratch Nature**: Unlike wire brushes, it doesn’t scratch chimneys, preventing creosote from adhering again. 10. **Peace of Mind**: Reduces the frequency of manual cleaning and potential chimney fires, offering users greater confidence and safety. ### Disadvantages 1. **High Consumption for Initial Cleaning**: Users with severe buildup need to use significant amounts of the product initially. 2. **Cost Implications**: With frequent and heavy initial use, the cost can add up before reaching a maintenance level. 3. **Potential for Leakage**: The sprayer may leak during use, as some users have experienced. 4. **Sprayer Limitations**: Initial uses may result in more product wasted through spray mechanism inefficiencies. 5. **Partial Effectiveness on Glass**: Does not completely clean heavily sooted glass without additional measures. 6. **Persistent Creosote**: May not completely remove creosote from areas with severe buildup in initial applications. 7. **Initial Setup Required**: Works best when applied on a properly pre-swept chimney for maximal effectiveness. 8. **Volume Required for Heavy Creosote**: Especially tough deposits may require significantly more product initially. 9. **Limited Effect on Non-creosote Elements**: Does not remove other types of chimney debris as effectively. 10. **Temperature Sensitivity**: Requires effective application timing (before or after optimal temperatures) for best results. ### Conclusion The ACS Anti-Creo-Soot Liquid is a worthwhile investment for anyone managing a wood stove or fireplace, especially when dealing with persistent creosote issues. While it necessitates an initial investment in terms of both product and effort, the long-term benefits of improved efficiency, safety, and reduced cleaning frequency make it highly recommended. Continuous use promises preventive benefits, ensuring that chimneys remain safer and more efficient through the colder months. ### FAQ 1. **How often should I use ACS Anti-Creo-Soot Liquid?** - It is recommended to use it every third fire after initial buildup has been treated, but frequency can be adjusted based on individual chimney conditions. 2. **Is ACS Anti-Creo-Soot Liquid safe for all chimney types?** - Yes, it is designed to be safe for use on all standard chimney types, but always consult your chimney manual when in doubt. 3. **Can it replace mechanical cleaning methods?** - While it significantly reduces buildup, it's best used in conjunction with mechanical cleaning for heavily layered creosote. 4. **What should I do if the sprayer leaks?** - Check the nozzle for blockages and ensure it’s securely fastened; consider a replacement sprayer if problems persist. 5. **How soon will I see results?** - Results can be immediate; many users report falling debris and increased heat output after initial applications. 6. **Does it leave residues?** - Generally, it shouldn’t leave harmful residues; however, proper application should be ensured to minimize any residue. 7. **Is this product environmentally friendly?** - It uses chemical reactions to break down creosote but always follow disposal instructions for safety. 8. **Can I use it on cold fires?** - For best results, use when the fire is hot but not excessively flaming to allow chemicals to activate properly. 9. **Will it affect the taste of food cooked on the stove?** - As it's targeted at creosote, it should not affect food when following the correct application methods. 10. **What is the shelf life of ACS Anti-Creo-Soot?** - Refer to the packaging for specific shelf life details, but storing it per manufacturer instructions ensures longevity.

Title: Works really well
Content: I can tell its working because, as soon as I spray a few shots into a hot flue, I can hear material falling in the chimney. I can immediately feel more heat off of my wood stove because creosote is a far better insulator than carbon. The chemical conversion is immediate and the results are obvious. I have a heat reclaimer that I thought I had to replace because I could no longer move the creosote clearing part. As soon as I sprayed this stuff into the stove, I was able to clear the reclaimer. This product is essential for anyone with a wood stove or fireplace.
Title: ACTUALLY WORKS
Content: It's rare that I will take time to write a review here....but this is worth the money for the problem it has solved so far. I have an older woodstove that doesn't have a catalytic burner and use the relatively low-quality firewood thats available locally. I run the stove almost every day during the winter. I've already had a chimney fire that fortunately didnt do any damage, but makes me a little neurotic. I clean the flu frequently, sometimes every couple of weeks for peace of mind. My biggest concern is the gradually increasing amount of Type 3 creosote which is the hard glassy type that clings to the walls...and isn't easily removed with the poly brush which is required for use in the stainless steel triple wall section that goes through the roof. A stiff wire brush would probably solve my problem in the short term but it causes scratches in the liner that creates a place for more and more creosote to accumulate. I've used this product heavily for the past week...as in almost the whole 32 oz bottle. Expensive, yes. I've cleaned the flu enough times that I can kind of "feel" how dirty it is based on resistance and how the brush sounds (crunchy vs smooth) as it passes along the sidewalls. It definitely "felt" cleaner today and the real evidence was that there was far less creosote than expected in the firebox when I was done. I also noticed when looking up at the chimney cap that the vent holes weren't as clogged as they usually are at this point (and which is usually indicated by a small amount of smoke backing into the house when I open the door to the firebox.) I haven't been able to get up on the roof for a close-up inspection yet. I will say that if you have existing stubborn creosote then plan to use a lot more than the maintenance dose of 10 sprays every third fire until you have been using for awhile. The directions also say this. I start a relatively small but hot fire and then DOUSE the wood with this stuff and spray up into the flu itself. I mean 40-50 sprays, and let it flame back up. This is the best time because the flu gases arent moving as fast and can swirl and stick to the sidewalls to do their work. And then I would do the same again after the fire had been cooking for awhile...probably less effective. Also, clean your chimney well before using this so it isn't wasted...the surface crust has to be removed so the stubborn stuff is exposed and the vapors can soak in.
Title: Product is great, but the sprayer is worthless—updated
Content: My father has seen incredible results with this product and I bought it from his recommendation. First use I lost more dripping from the sprayer than actually spraying into the fire box. Going to try a different sprayer. Update: After a few uses the sprayer isn’t as leaky as it was the first use. Still a few drops. I will continue to use the provided sprayer. I’m also spraying before the fire is too hot to be close enough to hold the sprayer inside the fire box so drops fall in the firebox and not the floor.
Title: Works much better than I expected!!
Content: Let me start off by saying, I don't think I've ever written an Amazon review. However, this product really surprised me and worked so well that I want to share my experience to hopefully help and save someone else money. I am incredibly pleased by this spray and highly recommend to anyone who burns firewood. I had a "third-degree" creosote problem where the creosote was not sweep able - it was thin tar like layer (first picture). I figured I was going to have to get professionals to take care of it, but decided to give this product a try. Following the instructions, I sprayed this product on almost every fire I had from January 2023- March 2023. I used the entire spray bottle in this time period. When I checked my chimney in the Spring, I couldn't believe how well this stuff worked. It caused the creosote to harden and start to crumble off of the terracotta. I can't tell you how soon it started to work, but my build up was pretty bad so I assume it took at least 20-30 fires to get it to a sweepable condition. I finally got around to sweeping it this October 2023 (the chimney sat all summer unused and unswept). It swept pretty darn well for the condition it was in last January. It's not perfect, there is still some areas of a creosote coating at the top ~8' of my chimney, which is what the 2nd picture shows. I am going to get a second bottle of this and will continue to spray on every fire and try to sweep in a month after burning fires. Even once I get my chimney completely clean, I most certainly plan to continue to use this spray as a preventative. I can't recommend this stuff enough. I think it will really help keeping the chimney clean and safe.
Title: Only an inspection can tell
Content: I've been recommended this product by a chimney cleaning company. I'm assuming it helps keep the chimney clear of debris accumulating.
Title: Not that great
Content: Doesn't clean very well,leaves swirl smear from wiping. On heavier sooted glass need to apply more than 2 times
Title: Works amazing
Content: Worth every penny! Fast shipping! Was skeptical at it working as good as everyone said due to the fact my stove hadn’t been cleaned and I did a clean before this winter storm hit with this stuff. Needless to say I was well amazed! Get a good bed of coals going spray it directly on logs and all in the stove get a hot fire burning and let it do the work. That’s it and I just squirt on the inside of stove daily because I just enjoy seeing it all bubbled up and peeling off or crumbled off when I go to stove up the fire. I used it two days worth before the chimney sweep came by and they said my chimney looked absolutely the best it ever has. I showed them what I had used so I def will be purchasing more

The directions also say this. I start a relatively small but hot fire and then DOUSE the wood with this stuff and spray up into the flu itself. I mean 40-50 sprays, and let it flame back up. This is the best time because the flu gases arent moving as fast and can swirl and stick to the sidewalls to do their work. And then I would do the same again after the fire had been cooking for awhile...probably less effective. Also, clean your chimney well before using this so it isn't wasted...the surface crust has to be removed so the stubborn stuff is exposed and the vapors can soak in.
Title: Product is great, but the sprayer is worthless—updated
Content: My father has seen incredible results with this product and I bought it from his recommendation. First use I lost more dripping from the sprayer than actually spraying into the fire box. Going to try a different sprayer. Update: After a few uses the sprayer isn’t as leaky as it was the first use. Still a few drops. I will continue to use the provided sprayer. I’m also spraying before the fire is too hot to be close enough to hold the sprayer inside the fire box so drops fall in the firebox and not the floor.
Title: Works much better than I expected!!
Content: Let me start off by saying, I don't think I've ever written an Amazon review. However, this product really surprised me and worked so well that I want to share my experience to hopefully help and save someone else money. I am incredibly pleased by this spray and highly recommend to anyone who burns firewood. I had a "third-degree" creosote problem where the creosote was not sweep able - it was thin tar like layer (first picture). I figured I was going to have to get professionals to take care of it, but decided to give this product a try. Following the instructions, I sprayed this product on almost every fire I had from January 2023- March 2023. I used the entire spray bottle in this time period. When I checked my chimney in the Spring, I couldn't believe how well this stuff worked. It caused the creosote to harden and start to crumble off of the terracotta. I can't tell you how soon it started to work, but my build up was pretty bad so I assume it took at least 20-30 fires to get it to a sweepable condition. I finally got around to sweeping it this October 2023 (the chimney sat all summer unused and unswept). It swept pretty darn well for the condition it was in last January. It's not perfect, there is still some areas of a creosote coating at the top ~8' of my chimney, which is what the 2nd picture shows. I am going to get a second bottle of this and will continue to spray on every fire and try to sweep in a month after burning fires. Even once I get my chimney completely clean, I most certainly plan to continue to use this spray as a preventative. I can't recommend this stuff enough. I think it will really help keeping the chimney clean and safe.
Title: Only an inspection can tell
Content: I've been recommended this product by a chimney cleaning company. I'm assuming it helps keep the chimney clear of debris accumulating.
Title: Not that great
Content: Doesn't clean very well,leaves swirl smear from wiping. On heavier sooted glass need to apply more than 2 times
Title: Works amazing
Content: Worth every penny! Fast shipping! Was skeptical at it working as good as everyone said due to the fact my stove hadn’t been cleaned and I did a clean before this winter storm hit with this stuff. Needless to say I was well amazed! Get a good bed of coals going spray it directly on logs and all in the stove get a hot fire burning and let it do the work. That’s it and I just squirt on the inside of stove daily because I just enjoy seeing it all bubbled up and peeling off or crumbled off when I go to stove up the fire. I used it two days worth before the chimney sweep came by and they said my chimney looked absolutely the best it ever has. I showed them what I had used so I def will be purchasing more
Title: Soot Remover
Content: This product works okay at removing soot from wood stove glass, but not entirely. Mixing it with ash helps.
Title: Good product
Content: It works well,will reorder it again
Title: Works really well
Content: I can tell its working because, as soon as I spray a few shots into a hot flue, I can hear material falling in the chimney. I can immediately feel more heat off of my wood stove because creosote is a far better insulator than carbon. The chemical conversion is immediate and the results are obvious. I have a heat reclaimer that I thought I had to replace because I could no longer move the creosote clearing part. As soon as I sprayed this stuff into the stove, I was able to clear the reclaimer. This product is essential for anyone with a wood stove or fireplace.
Title: ACTUALLY WORKS
Content: It's rare that I will take time to write a review here....but this is worth the money for the problem it has solved so far. I have an older woodstove that doesn't have a catalytic burner and use the relatively low-quality firewood thats available locally. I run the stove almost every day during the winter. I've already had a chimney fire that fortunately didnt do any damage, but makes me a little neurotic. I clean the flu frequently, sometimes every couple of weeks for peace of mind. My biggest concern is the gradually increasing amount of Type 3 creosote which is the hard glassy type that clings to the walls...and isn't easily removed with the poly brush which is required for use in the stainless steel triple wall section that goes through the roof. A stiff wire brush would probably solve my problem in the short term but it causes scratches in the liner that creates a place for more and more creosote to accumulate. I've used this product heavily for the past week...as in almost the whole 32 oz bottle. Expensive, yes. I've cleaned the flu enough times that I can kind of "feel" how dirty it is based on resistance and how the brush sounds (crunchy vs smooth) as it passes along the sidewalls. It definitely "felt" cleaner today and the real evidence was that there was far less creosote than expected in the firebox when I was done. I also noticed when looking up at the chimney cap that the vent holes weren't as clogged as they usually are at this point (and which is usually indicated by a small amount of smoke backing into the house when I open the door to the firebox.) I haven't been able to get up on the roof for a close-up inspection yet.

Going to try a different sprayer. Update: After a few uses the sprayer isn’t as leaky as it was the first use. Still a few drops. I will continue to use the provided sprayer. I’m also spraying before the fire is too hot to be close enough to hold the sprayer inside the fire box so drops fall in the firebox and not the floor.
Title: Works much better than I expected!!
Content: Let me start off by saying, I don't think I've ever written an Amazon review. However, this product really surprised me and worked so well that I want to share my experience to hopefully help and save someone else money. I am incredibly pleased by this spray and highly recommend to anyone who burns firewood. I had a "third-degree" creosote problem where the creosote was not sweep able - it was thin tar like layer (first picture). I figured I was going to have to get professionals to take care of it, but decided to give this product a try. Following the instructions, I sprayed this product on almost every fire I had from January 2023- March 2023. I used the entire spray bottle in this time period. When I checked my chimney in the Spring, I couldn't believe how well this stuff worked. It caused the creosote to harden and start to crumble off of the terracotta. I can't tell you how soon it started to work, but my build up was pretty bad so I assume it took at least 20-30 fires to get it to a sweepable condition. I finally got around to sweeping it this October 2023 (the chimney sat all summer unused and unswept). It swept pretty darn well for the condition it was in last January. It's not perfect, there is still some areas of a creosote coating at the top ~8' of my chimney, which is what the 2nd picture shows. I am going to get a second bottle of this and will continue to spray on every fire and try to sweep in a month after burning fires. Even once I get my chimney completely clean, I most certainly plan to continue to use this spray as a preventative. I can't recommend this stuff enough. I think it will really help keeping the chimney clean and safe.
Title: Only an inspection can tell
Content: I've been recommended this product by a chimney cleaning company. I'm assuming it helps keep the chimney clear of debris accumulating.
Title: Not that great
Content: Doesn't clean very well,leaves swirl smear from wiping. On heavier sooted glass need to apply more than 2 times
Title: Works amazing
Content: Worth every penny! Fast shipping! Was skeptical at it working as good as everyone said due to the fact my stove hadn’t been cleaned and I did a clean before this winter storm hit with this stuff. Needless to say I was well amazed! Get a good bed of coals going spray it directly on logs and all in the stove get a hot fire burning and let it do the work. That’s it and I just squirt on the inside of stove daily because I just enjoy seeing it all bubbled up and peeling off or crumbled off when I go to stove up the fire. I used it two days worth before the chimney sweep came by and they said my chimney looked absolutely the best it ever has. I showed them what I had used so I def will be purchasing more
Title: Soot Remover
Content: This product works okay at removing soot from wood stove glass, but not entirely. Mixing it with ash helps.
Title: Good product
Content: It works well,will reorder it again
Title: Works really well
Content: I can tell its working because, as soon as I spray a few shots into a hot flue, I can hear material falling in the chimney. I can immediately feel more heat off of my wood stove because creosote is a far better insulator than carbon. The chemical conversion is immediate and the results are obvious. I have a heat reclaimer that I thought I had to replace because I could no longer move the creosote clearing part. As soon as I sprayed this stuff into the stove, I was able to clear the reclaimer. This product is essential for anyone with a wood stove or fireplace.
Title: ACTUALLY WORKS
Content: It's rare that I will take time to write a review here....but this is worth the money for the problem it has solved so far. I have an older woodstove that doesn't have a catalytic burner and use the relatively low-quality firewood thats available locally. I run the stove almost every day during the winter. I've already had a chimney fire that fortunately didnt do any damage, but makes me a little neurotic. I clean the flu frequently, sometimes every couple of weeks for peace of mind. My biggest concern is the gradually increasing amount of Type 3 creosote which is the hard glassy type that clings to the walls...and isn't easily removed with the poly brush which is required for use in the stainless steel triple wall section that goes through the roof. A stiff wire brush would probably solve my problem in the short term but it causes scratches in the liner that creates a place for more and more creosote to accumulate. I've used this product heavily for the past week...as in almost the whole 32 oz bottle. Expensive, yes. I've cleaned the flu enough times that I can kind of "feel" how dirty it is based on resistance and how the brush sounds (crunchy vs smooth) as it passes along the sidewalls. It definitely "felt" cleaner today and the real evidence was that there was far less creosote than expected in the firebox when I was done. I also noticed when looking up at the chimney cap that the vent holes weren't as clogged as they usually are at this point (and which is usually indicated by a small amount of smoke backing into the house when I open the door to the firebox.) I haven't been able to get up on the roof for a close-up inspection yet. I will say that if you have existing stubborn creosote then plan to use a lot more than the maintenance dose of 10 sprays every third fire until you have been using for awhile. The directions also say this. I start a relatively small but hot fire and then DOUSE the wood with this stuff and spray up into the flu itself. I mean 40-50 sprays, and let it flame back up. This is the best time because the flu gases arent moving as fast and can swirl and stick to the sidewalls to do their work. And then I would do the same again after the fire had been cooking for awhile...probably less effective. Also, clean your chimney well before using this so it isn't wasted...the surface crust has to be removed so the stubborn stuff is exposed and the vapors can soak in.
