Get matched with top air duct cleaners in Stephentown, NY

Q: How do pros ensure thorough disinfection during cleaning?

• <div><p>They utilize high-grade disinfectants and follow rigorous protocols for germ and virus control.</p></div>

Q: Can you put boric acid in vents?

• <div><p>You should not put <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/boric-acid-safe-use-pest-control.htm">boric acid</a> into your home&rsquo;s air vents. While sprinkling boric acid in roach-prone areas is an effective way to get rid of them, it&rsquo;s not safe to introduce those chemicals into your home&rsquo;s air system. Instead, put boric acid or diatomaceous earth in a spot that roaches may walk through, infesting them and the rest of the infestation.</p></div>

Q: Is it possible to clean your own air ducts?

• <div><p>While homeowners can find <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/duct-cleaning-equipment-pros-should-use.htm">DIY air duct cleaning tools</a>, full duct cleaning is not recommended due to the complexity and specialized equipment required for the job. You can perform basic maintenance tasks like changing filters and vacuuming vents, but you can&rsquo;t access all areas of the ductwork. It&rsquo;s also not safe for homeowners to try to use high-powered vacuums and handle potential contaminants like mold and dust. Hiring a certified air duct cleaning service is the best option for a comprehensive and safe cleaning.</p></div>

Q: Do all houses have ducts?

• <div><p>No, not all houses have ducts. It would be safe to say, however, that most modern houses do. The reason is that older houses had boilers in the basement that heated from the bottom up and often vents weren&rsquo;t built into the house. Another reason is that older homes don&rsquo;t have air conditioning (because it didn&rsquo;t exist) and use radiators for heating. Since radiators don&rsquo;t require ductwork, it wasn&rsquo;t built.</p></div>

Q: What time of the year is best for duct cleaning?

• <div><p>Spring and fall are the best times to hire a pro to clean ductwork. It&rsquo;s a good idea to clean and maintain your ducts before the HVAC system will be busy regulating temperatures day and night. Scheduling a cleaning in the spring and fall ensures that the system will be at peak efficiency during the summer and winter. </p></div>

I have been into cleaning for a long time, as a kid going to work with my mom as a housekeeper sometimes. Getting cleaning jobs when i was able to start work on my own and also having a love for cleaning my own space. I have been a team clean specialist, housekeeper, and an environmental services aide. I love the process of cleaning and then seeing the end results. Helping both myself as it helps mentally and helps move around but also the client. I have an eye for detail and a little of a clean freak, i wouldn’t leave until it was done and done properly. I believe you should hire me because i am reliable, trustworthy and have great energy or personality to connect with others and also understanding that mental health and cleanliness are in a way hand and hand. When your space or environment is clear, it’s easier to breathe, it helps bring some peace.
