How Clean Ducts Help Keep Your Entire House Clean

Minneapolis St. Paul homeowners insist on clean homes. We’re proud of our homes, and try to keep them spotless for our family and guests. Dust is a major issue for homeowners, and more time is spent removing dust from surfaces than any other part of cleaning. It’s a never-ending war, though. Five minutes after dusting a surface, new dust is settling on it. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a way to minimize the dust in our homes and make housecleaning easier?

Fortunately, there is a way to cut down on the dust in your home. Along with frequent vacuuming and other cleaning measures, keeping your air ducts clean is one of the most effective ways to cut down on dust in your home. Here’s some information on dust and your air ducts:

What Is Dust? – Dust is made up of tiny, almost weightless particles. When dust is examined under the microscope, it reveals many components, including fibers, pollen, finely ground dirt, human and animal dead skin particles, molds, fungi, and even bacteria.
Where Does Dust Come From? – Everywhere. Fabrics constantly shed fibers. Humans and animals shed millions of tiny flakes of dead skin and broken bits of hair. Dust mites eat these, then excrete microscopic pellets that join the dust. Pollen comes in through doors and windows, and molds and fungi live in damp areas in our homes.
What’s The Role of Air Ducts in This? – Whenever your furnace or air conditioner is running, all the air in your home circulates again and again through your air ducts. Over time, some of it settles to form a layer of dust inside the air ducts. Some of it is always being disturbed by the air flow and circulated inside your home.
Does Dust Have Harmful Effects? – It can. If you have residents in your home who suffer from allergies or asthma, dust can trigger those allergies or asthma. From pollen and mold spores, to certain chemicals in dust mite debris, dust is a major contributor to allergies and asthmatic attacks
Will Cleaning My Air Ducts Really Help? – It certainly will. By removing the build-up of dust in your air ducts, duct cleaning will remove the source of much of the dust circulating in your home. Combined with your normal housecleaning efforts, it will help keep the dust in your home to a minimum, and make your cleaning chores easier.
