Cleaning Your Vents Can Remove Unwanted Odors

No one wants to live in a home that has an unpleasant odor. Unfortunately, not every scent is easy to remove. If you have a smell in your home, you may have tried everything from airing your home out, to deep cleaning, to changing the filters on your HVAC unit to help get rid of the smell. If the smell still remains, it may be time to have air duct cleaning done.

Scents can get trapped in debris in your air ducts. Every time your heating or cooling unit kicks on, these scents are blown into your home once again. Here are a few of the odors that can be removed from your home simply by having a professional clean your vents:

●        Smoke

Smoke can linger in your home and leave an unpleasant odor behind. If you have moved into a home a smoker used to occupy, you may smell cigar or cigarette smoke. No matter how much cleaning and airing out you do, you may not be able to get rid of the smell. Air vent and duct cleaning can help to remove the unpleasant odor left behind by cigarette smoke.

●        Food Smells

Most food smells will dissipate if you open your windows or run fans. Unfortunately though, some odors are strong and never seem to go away. If you cook with strong spices, such as curry, you may notice that your home always smells of these spices, no matter how often you open your windows. Fortunately, air vent cleaning can help to remove even the strongest cooking odors.

●        Pet Odors

If you own a pet, there is a good chance you have pet odors in your home. Many people think that the smell comes from their carpet, and as such, they spend a lot of time vacuuming, shampooing, or even replacing their carpet. While some smells do live within your carpet, your pet has hair and dander that make their way into the vents. As such, your vents may also be spreading around the pet odors in your home. Have your vents cleaned to get rid of the smell.

Does your home have an unpleasant odor that you just cannot seem to get rid of? If so, vent cleaning may be the key to getting the scent out once and for all.
