The other afternoon, I observed how dirty the outside of our air vents were, and there was black dust not only within the air vent however it was also starting to accumulate on the wall, then at first glance, I thought it might have been mold; Luckily, when I got closer to the air vent I could tell that it was only dust. The dust was so thick as well as obviously spreading, so I decided that it was time to clean our air duct as well as the outside of our air vent covers; I considered hiring an Heating as well as A/C professional or someone who specialized in air duct cleaning, however I was determined to save money as well as do it myself. I enjoyed cleaning as well as I had the time, so I set out to clean the air duct myself. The first thing I did was unattach all the air vent covers throughout the entire house as well as I venued them in the sink with hot, soapy water; While the air vents were soaking, I filled a basket with more hot, soapy water as well as grabbed a sponge with some dirty towels. I began scrubbing the air duct as well as emptying all the excess dust into a trash bin. The soapy water was strong enough to unattach all the difficult dirt, as well as I was able to get our air duct sparkling clean with a little elbow grease. The entire process took an entire afternoon, however it was manageable. I venued the clean as well as dry air vent covers back on the wall when I was done cleaning the air ducts, however not only were the clean air vents noticeable, however our air quality was improved too! The air in our house was much cleaner.
