The buildup of soot and creosote from the chimney is often referred to as chimney residue or chimney deposits. This residue can be a fire hazard and should be regularly cleaned to maintain a safe and efficient chimney.

To permanently close off a chimney, you can install a chimney cap or seal the opening with a metal plate and insulation. This will prevent drafts and debris from entering the chimney. It is important to ensure proper ventilation and safety measures are in place when closing off a chimney.
To clean out a chimney, you should first protect the surrounding area with a tarp or drop cloth. Next, use a chimney brush and rods to manually clean the soot and debris from the chimney walls. Alternatively, you can hire a professional chimney sweep to clean the chimney thoroughly and safely.
Our house has 3 chimneys. How often should we hire a chimney sweep to clean them?

On every chimney, there should be a metal plate that is suspended about a foot above the chimney. This metal plate block any debris from entering the chimney, and this includes rain, too.
It means you should install a screen on your chimney to keep it from happening again.
