An easy way is to use a paint scraper. Any sharp edged object should be useful.

It is important that you do this regularly...soot can actually catch fire if left to build up, and can therefore be very dangerous.

First, brush off the loose ashes. Spray the brick with water. Then, mix a mild cleaner with water and use that to clean off the soot.

There is an acid solution that you use as a wash. You can find it at most hardware and/or paint stores
