Did you know that dirt, dead bugs, pollen, bacteria, mold, mildew, drywall dust, asbestos, insulation particles, allergens, dust mites, viruses, pet dander, smoke, and odors, could all collect inside your air ducts? The constant flow of air from your heater, and air conditioner, keeps these micro particles circulating throughout your house, or place of business. In fact, many of the breathing ailments suffered by allergy victims, begin right in our air ducts.
It is a known fact that indoor air can be dirty. The term “go out for a breath of fresh air” is used quite often. Even the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has told us that indoor air can be up to 70% more polluted than outdoor air.
Many assume that if they are non-smokers, that this means that their indoor air is clean. While not smoking cuts down on indoor air pollution, it still leaves dozens of other unhealthy elements that get trapped in the air ducts, and then regularly re-circulated throughout the house, or office.

Question: “How does Lemon Grove Carpet Cleaning Experts clean my air ducts?”
Answer: We first scrub the insides of your air vents with high-powered brushes, designed to loosen, and remove dirt, micro particles, and other substances that might cling to your duct walls. We then use high-powered vacuums designed to powerfully suck all the debris, allergens, pollen and other pollutants right out of your ducts, and into a container for disposal. If your ducts were heavily clogged, or infected with dangerous substances like mold, mildew, or fiberglass, we will apply EPA approved cleaners to the interior walls, and spaces within your air ducts. This added step helps kill, and completely eliminate germs, bacteria, and other microbes on contact.
Question: “How often should I get my air ducts cleaned?”
Answer: There is no schedule set in stone for air duct cleaning. If you notice that your airflow is irregular, or greatly decreased, you might have an obstructed duct. If you feel that you, or your loved ones, are suffering from respiratory ailments more than usual, then you might schedule an air duct inspection, or cleaning. Even new homes, recently constructed, can have dangerous elements in the air ducts. Sloppy construction methods and accidents sometimes allow dangerous substances like asbestos, fiberglass insulation, and drywall pieces, to be left in the attic, crawl spaces, or air ducts.
