Dear Diane, How about calling in a chimney sweep? They have special brushes and the experience to do it just right, and you can have them inspect any furnace or fireplace chimneys at the same time. It wasn't too pricey last time we had the chimney done, and they didn't leave a speck of soot. The guys came dressed in top hats and tails just like in Mary Poppins which impressed dd. I know places like home depot also sell these brushes. (Think baby bottle brush, but larger with handles that screw into each other for proper length). I think buying one might cost as much as a cleaning though, plus the danger of going up onto the roof. Maybe the rent a centers might carry, they do have a lot of weird tools you can rent for a day. It's important to take care of though, a chimney fire is NOT a good thing.
