Vent Covers: Tips For Cleaning Your Vent Covers
Clean your vents monthly! Before you clean your vents, make sure you turn off the heat or air conditioning. If your home's ceiling vents are especially dirty, we suggest protecting your furniture by covering the area below the vent with plastic or a sheet. Next, vacuum those dirty vents using a a microfiber extensible duster or dusting brush attachment. If you don't have either, you can easily wipe the vents and ceiling fans with a dry microfiber cloth. Don't forget to change your filter monthly, too!
Two times a year, we suggest removing small vent covers and cleaning them. These vent covers will likely be full of dust on both the inside and the outside, so be prepared. To clean your small vent covers, we suggest placing the vent covers in a sink filled with warm, soapy water. You may need to let them soak a bit. Then, wash the vents with a microfiber cloth. Don't soak vent covers too long or scrub them too hard because the paint can come off.
One last point to make: Ensure your vent covers are totally dry before you re-install them, otherwise, dust particles will cling to the wet vent slats and undo all of your hard work.
