Spring has arrived and if you live in Montana, spring is a very welcome sight as our winters can be long and harsh, to say the least. Now comes the annual spring cleaning tasks, Wipe Walls and Ceilings. Use a vacuum to remove dust. ...Reseal Grout Lines. ...Vacuum and Shampoo Rugs. ...Dust Books and Shelves. ...Clean Upholstered Furnishings. ...Polish Metal Door and Window Hardware. ...Dust Your Home Thoroughly. ...Wax Wooden Furniture. I'm sure you have your own checklist but what I want to do here is invite you to think about a couple of items that are overlooked year after year and to be totally honest with you, it's the most disgusting, filthy place in your home. Just for an example. Dust that collects on your tables, TV, kitchen countertops, windowsills, and on those picture frames that are so hard to get clean is made mostly from dead human skin cells. In other words,

your home is filled with former bits of everyone who has lived in your home. This then will collect in your air ducts and be recycled every time your system runs.

You will shed more than 8 pounds of dead skin each year. It gets even grosser: Your home is also filled with trillions of microscopic life forms called dust mites that eat your old dead skin.

Come air duct cleaning used the patented clear dome duct cleaning system that allows the customer to see with their own eyes just what we are getting out of those air ducts and it's an amazing thing to see how absolutely shocked they are to see it. And this is just what they can see, you can only imagine what you can't see.

In the course of doing duct cleaning through the last 5 years, some of the things we have seen in air ducts will surprise anyone. Things like lizards, dead birds, dead mice, dirty diapers, petrified sandwiches, half-eaten cans of sardines just to mention a few. We here at Comet air duct cleaning if we could, would love to lobby Congress to make it mandatory to clean air ducts before someone moves into a rental or a home purchase. We believe very strongly that your lungs are the FINAL FILTER and doing what you can to clean the air you breathe would be a huge help for maintaining healthy lungs.

We have our own, patent-pending system for disinfecting heating and cooling air duct systems call the SaniJet. Unlike the traditional fogger that when applied from the register only goes a foot, maybe two. Or if applied through the returns using the air handler to push it through the system, this process leaves disinfectant on your furniture, countertops, table and basically everywhere in your house and no one wants that.

With our SaniJet system using 100% all-natural disinfectant [BENEFECT], we have created so much buzz that we can hardly keep up. Our process goes deep into each vent, sprays a fine mist throughout your duct system leaving a coating on the inner walls of your vents only and can stay moist for 15 minutes.

I started out charging an additional $35/vent to disinfect because it is the same amount of work as the cleaning. After a while, I did a half off sale and the sale was a great success. But the real surprise was the number of 5-star reviews and calls I was receiving from people who were suffering from asthma, allergies, sinus and respiratory problems. People were finding sanctuary in their homes due to the cleaning and disinfecting process. Just the word of mouth produced so much more work I now disinfect for practically nothing. What a wonderful sense of wellbeing when you know your service is really helping people.

One more thing that gets overlooked to often and would be a good time to be thinking about it and that is getting your dryer vent cleaned. The lint from your dryer accumulates on the sides of the vent just like what you see on your lint filter that you clean after each use. In the same way you see the lint just roll up when you clean it? This is what happens in a dryer vent, all of a sudden, a small corner will lift up due to the air flow and when it does it rolls up until you have a clogged vent. This is when your dryer becomes a fire hazard. But after a while with the use of the dryer, all that moist air will begin to make that lint wet and this becomes very difficult to clean. Best to clean every 1 or 2 years.

With this information, I certainly hope you will schedule an appointment to have your heating and cooling vents cleaned and disinfected. You will breathe so much easier knowing that your vents are cleaned and disinfected.
