Duct professional cleaning
It really doesn't matter just how good you clean your home, it's always going to get dirty again and it's going to be pretty fast too if your air ducts in your heating and cooling system is filled with dust and other nasty impurities. So, it's important that your duct cleaning get done on a regular basis.
Your furnace is only going to work right by drawing in air from one section of your home and then blowing it out into the other rooms in the home. This is how then the dirt, pollen and other particles get spread everywhere.
It's best that you have an air duct cleaning service come in once a year in order to get every single inch of the internal duct work taken care of and cleaned out completely. However, there are quite a few things that you can do to cut down on the dirt and dust in between the yearly air duct cleaning.
You need to start with the vents in your home. It's important that you go and take off all the vent covers off of your walls, your floors and the ceilings. This is the only way in which you'll be able to get to your ducts. Another reason for removing the vents is because you need to clean them. Over the months of use, the furnace will kick out dust, pollen, hair and other junk and a lot of it will get caught in the grills of the vents.
Take a screwdriver and go around your home and remove all of your vent covers and then put them on some newspaper on the floor. Take some paper towels and wipe off all of the vents and then you can take a sponge and wipe them off with any household cleaning product.
Something else you can do that will help to with the duct cleaning is to take the hose attachment and the brush that comes with your vacuum and put together. Then take some duct tape so you can secure your hose in all places that it connects to your vacuum and the brush. Next you can take the hose and put it into the ducts and vacuum the sides. Then take a warm, damp sponge, some household cleaner and wipe out the inside as far as you can reach. Make sure to wear long sleeves and gloves when you do this.
