Air duct and dryer vent cleaning is one of the most overlooked elements of routine home maintenance. This is not surprising since no one ever sees or notices the contents of their air ducts or dryer vents and as the saying goes, "Out of sight, out of mind."
Yet, when air ducts are dirty, they become potential breeding grounds for mold, bacteria, fungi, and other harmful contaminants that simply blow into your indoor space every time the heating or cooling system kicks on.Heating and cooling systems within a home can be likened to our lungs, as the systems literally breathe air in and exhale air out.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that indoor air can actually be up to five times more polluted than the air outside. Each year, an average home can collect up to 40 pounds of dust, dirt and allergens within the air ducts, according to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA); consider that approximately 40,000 dust mites thriving in one ounce of dust!
