Can I clean my smoke shelf myself?

• <div><p>You may be able to clean your smoke shelf yourself, though it depends on whether you can reach the shelf with the tools you have. If you cannot see through the chimney damper to the shelf, it’s better to rely on a professional chimney specialist. It’s also wise to get a professional if you see creosote buildup, which is typically hard, shiny, and sometimes sticky. A pro has the correct tools and safety equipment to properly clean out the chimney.</p></div>

The entire process was A++! From Ray being our salesman to the install team! Ray answered all our questions and was not pushy! The install team left the house cleaner then when they arrived! It was the best to come home to new windows and I did not have to clean up any of the mess!

They did alright, but the carpet is still not clean. I do not think that is their fault, because we bought a house with bad carpet. We tried to see if it would come clean, but it didn't really work. They did a great job, the carpet was just not able to be cleaned. They were right on time.

"Dyna-Kleen did an excellent job at cleaning the entire HVAC air duct system throughout our house. They brushed and power vacuumed all 32 supply and return vents as well as cleaned the HVAC system itself, including the coils, plenum, fan, motor and cage. They brought in a very large and powerful vacuum system and long hoses to get the dust and gunk out of the duct system. The crew of three spent 4 hours on cleaning the entire duct network and HVAC system and did an extremely thorough job, including cleaning up any grime created by their work. They were all very professional, friendly and informative. They honored their quoted price which was the best of all the estimates we got. Great all around."

Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

You have two different types of air vents in your home: supply and return air vents. Your supply air vents are responsible for pushing air into your home. Meanwhile, return air vents draw warmer air back into the ductwork to condition it by removing the warm molecules from it. Both types of vents are necessary to a working HVAC system and a comfortable home.

You should remove and clean your HRV filters about once a month, as debris will build up quickly, especially on the fresh air side of the ductwork. Even with routine cleaning, you should plan to replace the filters at least once a year or more often if you find that they’re getting dirty quickly during operation.

The best way to clean fine dust particles after construction is by combining dusting with vacuuming. Start up high by dusting ceiling fans, walls, window sills, countertops, and other surfaces throughout your house. Once the dust has settled, go over all of your floors with a high-powered vacuum, giving a little extra attention to the carpeting. Make a second pass with your vacuum, and then mop all hard surfaces to get any remaining dust. Don’t forget to vacuum your HVAC returns and supply vents and swap out the filters while you’re there.

You may be able to clean your smoke shelf yourself, though it depends on whether you can reach the shelf with the tools you have. If you cannot see through the chimney damper to the shelf, it’s better to rely on a professional chimney specialist. It’s also wise to get a professional if you see creosote buildup, which is typically hard, shiny, and sometimes sticky. A pro has the correct tools and safety equipment to properly clean out the chimney.

Costs depend on grease buildup, labor, and whether ductwork requires deep cleaning.
