How do you know when your fireplace chimney needs to be cleaned?

If a fireplace is only being used once a week or for only a few hours at a time, it is necessary to only have a cleaning once evey two to three years. However, if there is soot coming down when opening and closing the damper, this is a good determining factor that the fireplace/chimney is in need of cleaning.

How do you clean wood charcoal stains off a porous concrete fireplace hearth?
We had carbon on the stone above our fireplace opening because a guest at our cabin started a fire without opening the damper. We used Sure Klean Fireplace Cleaner, following the instructions on the bottle. It's not easy to find, but it works as advertised. It removed all the carbon from the stone. The grout is 90% cleaner, but if you know to look, you can see that the grout is ever so slightly darker than the grout on the side of the fireplace, where there was no smoke damage. I give this product 5 out of 5 stars.
