We love interesting chimney sweep facts and superstitions. Here are some more of our favorites about chimney sweeps:
- Wear a top hat like an old time sweep, and you’ll receive good luck.
- Sweeps used to tie with rope a goose and lower it to clean the chimney. (Note: Guardian Chimney does not sweep chimneys with geese).
- Shake a sweep’s hand or touch his coat and the good luck he has will rub off on you.
- Children would steal bristles from a sweep’s brush and carry them around for luck.
- An old wives tale suggested that once a chimney fire occurred, the chimney is cleaned. (Note: This is not true).
