This homeowner asked me if I knew of a cleaning method to get the black soot off of her fireplace. It seems to have penetrated the brick somewhat. It really bothers her and she wants it to be clean before the staging is finished, and the house is put on market.
She mentioned "Scrubbing Bubbles", I've never tried this, my fireplace is not brick, so there's no build-up.
Has anyone had success in cleaning brick fireplaces?
Thanks for any help you can give!

If anyone would know he would. I said it didn't have a skinny head, it was like a flat diamond shape. Was it poisonous, I asked? He so matter of factly said, gotta see the color of the snake, can't just go by the head. What there's a possibility we have poisonous snakes lurking in the flower beds, where I'm always sticking my arm in to pull a straggling weed, not thinking twice? Are you sure? Yep, gotta go by the coloring. So I looked them up on line, and this is what I found. I didn't see a rattler, which could have been gone, so if it wasn't a rattlesnake I think it was a Diamondback Water Snake. These are common to Harris and Galveston County. They like to be in yards that have water sprinklers, so they always have a water source.
