I Decided to Clean My Air Ducts Myself

The air in my house has been a little smelly, in addition to I’ve attributed it to my air ducts… I have a ton of air fresheners scattered throughout the house in addition to I’ve cleaned every surface, however the smell still lingers.

I guess the smell is at its worst when the HVAC system is pushing air through my air vents, which is why I’ve decided to clean my air ducts. I considered hiring a professional, however after looking into the prices, I feel like it’s something I can handle myself. I’m not opposed to cleaning a wonderful mess. I did a little research on cleaning air ducts, in addition to it seems simple enough! Thankfully, the internet provided me with step-by-step directions. The first thing I had to do was remove the air duct covers, which was simple enough. Then, I had to block the supply vents with a towel in addition to switch my temperature control to the fan setting, however next, I began cleaning the HVAC duct by scrubbing the dust in addition to debri from within. I had to put on a mask for this step, because the dust was overwhelming in addition to it made me sick to guess that I was breathing in the air traveling through. The final step was to wash the supply in addition to return registers, and overall, I thought the process of cleaning my air ducts was simple, but I wasn’t expecting the mess to be quite so large. I had to contain the dust in addition to debri from the HVAC duct into the trash before it spread throughout the house. I guess I’ll spend money someone next time.
