Usually I do a full and deep cleaning of my home once or twice a year.
Some people call it Springtime Cleaning, but I don’t have a set time of the year to do it, just when the mood strikes me.
This year was a little different, because I had really skipped doing it last year. With all the extra time I had due to the pandemic, I could have legitimately found the time, but I spent about 18 months feeling lethargic so it never happened. After over 2 years of building, I found that my home was a filthy mess, everywhere from the baseboards to the air vents. The air vents were so dirty that I got my tools to remove them legitimately and blast them with the hose in the front yard. Once they were off, I had my first clear view into the air duct of the house, and it was only then I realized how dirty they had gotten. In all my years, in all the venues I had lived, I had never gotten my air duct cleaned before. Seeing firsthand how much grime, dust, and hair can build up in an HVAC duct over the years is a sobering and upsetting sight. I knew that left to my own devices I could never get the air duct properly cleaned myself, I had to call for some professional help. Since I was having an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C tech come to the home anyway, I thought it would be a nice proposal to get a full inspection of the proposal and see if there was anything else I had overlooked.
