I recently did a chimney cleaning of my oil fired boiler using chimney
sweep brushes (first time in 22 years). I then vacuumed out the firing
chamber with a shop vac. After I emptied the shop vac, I took it outside
to clean it. I cleaned the vac on a brick walkway (the wife wasn't home,
luckily). The terra cotta stones were then an oily black. I used Simple
Green to clean out the vac and washed the stones with a stiff broom,
then washed it off with the hose. The vac and the stones were as good as
new (and the evidence was gone!)..
