Some people prefer to clean their own air ducts, and there’s nothing wrong with that! Of course, it’s always a good idea to have a professional inspect the condition of the ducts before choosing to clean the ducts on your own. Also, it’s almost impossible to clean the ducts 100% without professional tools, but you can do some light cleaning every so often. Some of the items you’re going to need are a vacuum with extended attachments, flathead screwdriver, N-95 mask, gloves, goggles, microfiber cloth, hard-bristle brush, paper towels and dish soap.
How You Can Lightly Clean Your Own Air Ducts
You’ll want to start by covering your furniture to protect against clouds of dust. Make sure you have your mask, goggles and gloves on before you start vacuuming all the dust you can reach from your ducts. There are some ducts you will not be able to reach, and those will need to be cleaned by professionals. Also, if you find signs of mold in your ducts, you should leave this work to the professionals as well. Next, take out all the vents with your screwdriver and cover everything that you’re not working on with thick paper towels to prevent dust from escaping. Vacuum everything you can reach. Then wipe everything down with soap, dry it with paper towels and wipe down everything with the microfiber cloth.
