  1. How To Clean Air Ducts Yourself

  2. Step 1: Cleaning The Duct Walls • Turn the drill on and let it whip the brush around in your duct. With the drill still running slowly pull back, so the brush cleans the walls of the duct as you pull the brush out.

  3. Step 2: Cover Supply Registers • Start by covering up your supply air registers (openings that supply heated air to the rooms) with paper towels. You do this to keep dislodged dust from drifting into the rooms as you work. Simply lift the register, wrap the paper towel over the top of it, and replace it.

  4. Step 3: Check Furnace Filter • Make sure your old furnace filter is in place while duct cleaning, so that the dust you knock loose doesn't end up getting pulled into the fan motor.

  5. Step 4: Replace Furnace Filter • Buying a better filter will definitely cut down on the dust in your home. But the better the filter, the more often you should change it; a dirty filter restricts the airflow to the fan, which results in the blower motor running hotter and reducing its lifespan.

  6. Step 5: Remove End Caps From Rectangular Duct Work • You can slide the "drives" down off the duct and pull the cap out of the "slips." So long as the duct is not butting up against the wall, you should be able to reach your vacuum hose in through the space uncovered by removing the cap, and sweep out any dust you find. You could even use a flashlight to look inside the duct for dirty areas.
