Duct cleaning can be awkward and time consuming. Ducting for air conditioning and heating systems run throughout the house, and are liable over time to become clogged with dust and dirt. If you have pets or live in an area with unpaved roads, the incidence can only increase. Clogged ducts are a safety hazard and can increase the risk of allergies and help your appliances and systems run more efficiently.

A domestic cleaning service that specialises in the servicing of ducts is best placed to perform this service. The duct vents are usually covered during the cleaning process, which is designed to prevent dust and debris contaminating the house. Abrasive brushes and high pressure air hoses are inserted into the ducting to loosen all the dust and debris present. A powerful vacuum is then inserted to remove all the dirt.

If you are considering hiring a cleaning service to service your ducts, take time to consider the following:

• references from customers will verify the reliability and performance of a cleaning service
• insurance for cleaning staff is essential for any work carried out in your home
• ensure no dangerous chemicals are used by the cleaning service
