Why fireplace cleaning looks different in Oxnard
Direct Pacific exposure rules out standard hardware here, since a pitted cap loses its rust resistance and its ability to stop sparks together. Choosing marine-grade material keeps that ember protection reliable through fire season. That's the condition behind most calls here, and it's usually why the scope includes firebox ash and soot removal, glass door cleaning and gasket check, and hearth stone and surround cleaning instead of a one-size-fits-all checklist.
