Who doesn't like some tips and hacks to get the job done quickly? We love to perform hacks. But the problem is, sometimes the hacks we think can do the job have some detrimental effects in the long term. Just recently, we saw a TikTok video in which an air filter was being cleaned using firecrackers. Did that mesmerize us? Yes, but it also made us worry. This is because firecrackers can burn gunpowder/cardboard/glue residue inside the air filter. This will, in the long term, cause a fire inside your air duct.

Contrary to this method, if you use hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of 3 to 1, the only thing left behind after the explosion is just water vapors. This will just take a few minutes, and your air filter will be cleaned. But if you still want to speed up the cleaning process, add hydrogen, not oxygen. And make sure that the air filter you are cleaning is washable and reusable. If you're trying to clean a non-washable and non-reusable filter, then whatever method you use, you are just spinning your wheels.

Well, we are assuming you have already taken sides. But getting your air duct cleaned by a professional is a cheaper alternative to new systems. Because believe it or not, you might have to break your bank for a new air duct system in your house. In fact, you can even clean your air duct. Put the vent hose inside the vent to suck up debris.

Yes, this is because many air duct cleaning professionals, like us, fog the dust that deodorizes and sterilizes air ducts. Depending upon the smoke, we also use an air scrubber. It gets rid of odor and sanitizes the air. In case the smell is literally ingrained in the walls, in other words, the wall colors have changed from a different color to white, then you have to either repaint the walls or clean them with trisodium phosphate. After that, apply a scented primer.

Air duct scammers will post posts that have the same format. Their post will have only one or two comments—those comments too will be their own. Their Facebook profile will have not theirs but some generic pictures. Their accounts are also new. Some scammers also charge per vent. For instance, if there are 10 vents in their air duct, they will charge $10 to clean each air vent. $1000 for just air duct cleaning.

It totally depends on how big a commercial building is and how many air vents are present. At times, the location of commercial air ducts also enters into the equation.

Although, you can stay in the building because professional air duct cleaners don't make a mess, it's best to step outside. That's because during cleaning, dust can spread out in commercial buildings. If you have allergies, then you can also get sick. Even if you don't have allergies, noise produced by air duct cleaning equipment can frustrate you.
