Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

The formula for neutralizing skunk smell is one quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, ¼ cup baking soda, and one to two teaspoons of dish soap. The University of Nebraska says a chemist discovered that this mixture changes the thiols, the chemical compound that causes the odor, into acids that don’t carry a skunk smell, thus eliminating the odor.

How often you clean your return air vent can vary based on several factors, including your indoor environment, the presence of allergies, and the accumulation of dust and debris. As a general guideline, you should inspect and clean your return air vent at least once a year. However, if you notice a significant buildup of dust, mold, or allergens, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to maintain good indoor air quality and ensure your HVAC system operates efficiently.

You should clean your air conditioner at least once per year, but you may need to clean your whole HVAC system (including the air ducts) more often. According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, you may need to clean them more frequently depending on factors like whether you smoke, have pets, or have allergies.

You won’t have to do much to prepare for air duct cleaning. Make sure your vents are easy to access, and move any nearby furniture or other objects out of the way. If you have a furnace or air conditioner unit, ensure they are easily accessible. And if you have a pet, make plans to get them out of the house, if possible. Vent vacuuming can be loud and requires access to all rooms, so you may want to take extra steps for pet safety.

Yes, you can snake a roof vent. This is one of the best ways to clear a problematic clog in a plumbing vent. You can either snake the vent by climbing on the roof and sending the plumber’s snake or auger directly down the vent opening, or you can cut a hole in the vent from inside the attic and snake it from there.
