Twice a year, I pulled up the air vent covers! I wash the air vent covers in tepid soapy water, and then every one of us vacuum the HVAC duct.
- I try to get the air vents as wash as I can… Once every two or many years, I’ll call the Heating and A/C company and have them come to the apartment to wash and sanitize the HVAC duct; They inspect the HVAC duct before cleaning, and look for any holes or cracks.
They have a special adhesive they can blow into the HVAC duct that will affix to the holes and cracks and heal them over. This year, I was calling the Heating and A/C company as soon as I cleaned the air vent covers and the HVAC ducts. I was cleaning them in my teenaged daughter’s room, and I was getting angrier by the hour! She wasn’t supposed to be chewing gum because of her braces. I was not just finding chewing gum wrappers in the HVAC duct, but there was chewing gum hanging off the bottom of the air vent covers, however when she got apartment from school, I confronted her. I wanted to recognize where the chewing gum came from. She wanted to recognize why I was in her room without telling myself and others first. She knew I cleaned air vents, so I ignored the question. I told her that if I found out she was chewing gum again, I would make sure she wore the braces to her senior prom. If I found gum in the air vents again, she would be athletic interesting it in her hair, just like a modern hairdo.
