Guest guest Posted October 10, 2000 Report Share Posted October 10, 2000 What about duct cleaning? People had good luck with that? I keep getting the flyers and don't know if it's worth it. I have to imagine it is. Cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to imagine it is. Cindi, I've been wondering the same thing myself. I get those flyers in the mail and every so often I think I ought to do it. The only thing that has stopped me is that they have to remove the vent covers, and the clowns that owned this house before us PAINTED them shut!!! I don't have the energy to cut the paint so they can be taken off. I'd probably have to paint the whole house afterwards which would pretty much kill any benefit I might get from the vent cleaning. -Theresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to suggest covering vents with cheesecloth, but could it be attached? It would help with the dust and other allergens. Which reminds me that I need a furnace filter.... Because I have a tri-level house, the upstairs portions get too warm, so I shut the vents, and cover them with anything available - waste basket in kitchen, magazines/books I'm reading in bedroom {yes I know books should not be in bedrooms :-)},etc. Good luck with this problem. Honestly if I had the money I would rip all carpets out and have those wonderful wood floors, have allergy control system on furnace, closed book cases. Well at least I don't have heavy drapes. But the blinds need cleaning.... Hey, wish me luck too! Take care, Christie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2000 Report Share Posted October 16, 2000 Cindi We had ours cleaned about 4 years ago and we're way over due for another cleaning. Some recommend it every year. You also have the option of having the ducts sanitized after the cleaning.I am not sure what is used for that but I want to check it before the next time as I'm concerned about the chemicals used. The duct cleanig did nothig for my fatigue(I am allergic to dust). Phil Phil canderson@... wrote: > What about duct cleaning? People had good luck with that?
