Gleaming grilles
Metal fixtures and fireplace grates can be shiny if you rub them with shoe polish and then polish them with a clean cloth.
Ash without dust
It is advisable to collect the ash every time you use the fireplace, but so that it does not raise dust you can lightly splash that ash with water and then sweep with the brush without completely filling the dustpan. Also, you can avoid the dust of the ash if you pour the leftover leaves of the tea infusions on it.
