How can I prevent creosote buildup?

The best way would be through regular cleanings every year once the weather starts cooling down again around fall time each year because of all of the extra fires that burn throughout colder months due to people using their fireplaces more often. This can be done by using a damp cloth or even an old rag to wipe down the inside of your chimney before turning on your fireplace for this year’s first flame too which is something you’ll want to do since creosote buildup could lead to fires if left alone over time (which means it isn’t worth taking that risk).
