Axiom floor care has been cleaning air ducts since 2010 and over the years of cleaning we have learned some tricks that have provided our customers with a happier experience. Today we want to share with you a handy trick that we have learned. How do you keep your air duct register vents cleaned? Have you ever looked up and noticed the register vents in your home and taken a closer look only to find years and years of dust lint? Eww… just kidding don’t blame your self According to the EPA less then 10% of all homes have ever had there air ducts cleaned. While it is reccommended that you have your air ducts cleaned every 2 -3 years that’s not why we are here. So is there any thing we can do to keep that dust and lint from sticking to the vent and causing a serious eye sore? Yes there is and its probably not the thing you though it would be its WAX car wax to be exact I know this seems like an odd product to be using on something inside your house but hear me out. Wax works great on air duct register vents in an environment in which it is not being exposed to the elements the wax will last six months to two years that’s a much better value then what your get using it on your car, hopefully the manufacturers don’t get wind of my little life hack or car wax might start rising in price.
Directions:
Step one: remove the vents and placement theme in your sink. Wash them with soapy water if you don’t have a paint brush handy you can use a sponge but in my experience the best tool for this job is an old paint brush. Make sure you wash in all the little cracks and crevices and then dry them thoroughly don’t put them in the dish washer that could peal off the paint. If they are not completely dry the wax wont stick to the paint we recommend letting them dry over night
Step two: waxing the vents. Apply wax to your air duct return covers with a microfiber applicator pad or a microfiber towel in the same way you would with a car not to much but you want to make sure the whole vent register is covered. After the air duct register vent has been completely covered its time to buff off the wax using a microfiber towel
Depending on the size of your house and how many registers your house this task can be a big task. How ever it is so worth it spending a little time to wax the air duct vent registers will save you time in the long run if your like me and hate that dust on your duct registers and would take the time monthly to dust the air duct vent registers. Well congratulations ons you have just saved your self hours of time every month!
