As you won\u2019t be using it as much in Summer it is perfect time to get your stove spick and span. While you are enjoying the warmer weather outside, ensure your stove is looked after and bedded down for the summer.<\/p>\n<h2>Cleaning<\/h2>\n<p>One of the first things to do is give your stove a good clean. Burning wood can cause all sorts of dirt and if this is left over a long period of time it can start to corrode your stove and its parts. Here are a few helpful tips on cleaning your stove:<br \/>\n\u2022 Never clean your stove while hot.<br \/>\n\u2022 Use your vacuum to get rid of any excess ash.<br \/>\n\u2022 Be gentle while cleaning your firebricks, a soft brush is recommended.<br \/>\n\u2022 If there are any signs rust, catch them quick. Use wire wool and stove paint to get your stove looking brand new.<\/p>\n<h2>Spare Parts<\/h2>\n<p>The summer months are the perfect time to give all the stove parts a check and ensure there are no problems. Keep an eye out for cracked glass, damaged rope, gaps and holes. We sell a wide array of spare parts for different brands so if you can\u2019t find what you are looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowlandstoves.co.uk\/acatalog\/Stove-Spare-Parts.html\">here<\/a> , don\u2019t hesitate to give us a ring.<\/p>\n<h2>Last thing to do<\/h2>\n<p>Once everything has been checked and cleaned, a helpful tip is to leave the door slightly open. This ensures there is sufficient air flow and ventilation to prevent corrosion.<br \/>\nIf all these steps are followed, then your stove should be primed to perfection and ready to use when winter comes around again.<\/p>\n<p>If you need more information on this topic, our other blog posts may be able to help.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowlandstoves.co.uk\/blog\/stove-advice-and-maintenance\/regular-maintenance-stove-delivers-greater-efficiencies\/\">The Importance of Regular Maintenance<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowlandstoves.co.uk\/blog\/stove-advice-and-maintenance\/keep-stove-clean-maximum-efficiency\/\">How to keep your Stove clean for maximum efficiency<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Packing up for Summer There are a few things you can do during the summer months to ensure your stove is ready for another hard-working winter.
