Where does the saying daft as a brush come from?

Actually the full expression is: Daft as a brush and not half as useful. In the days of chimney sweeps children were often used to clean chimnies as they were the only ones small enough to access the chimney to sweep it out. They were held upside down inside the chimney and accidents frequently ensued resulting, of course in brain injury. Hence the expression "daft" which means silly, unable to concentrate etc.

How do you clean a chimney with a cleaning brush?

First you should cover the opening tightly if the fireplace has no doors. With a help of plastic, cover the opening. Climb to the roof using a ladder. Remove the chimney cover with the help of pliers, screwdrivers and tin snips. Once you remove the cover, check inside how much cleaning is required. Use a flash light to see inside if its dark. Lower the brush down the hole and try to brush off all the nasty soot buildups inside. Once brushing is over, check if everything is removed. If cleaning is still required do it repeately until is cleaned properly. Once done, return the chimney cover and then climb down the ladder slowly and safely.
