This board seems to have a home improvement theme right now! Has anyone ever had someone come in and clean their air ducts? I've heard that it's not necessary for most people but our house is over 100 years old and we get lots of nasty junk the paddle fan blades and even sometimes on the walls. I think it's dust but it's so much it looks like dryer lint, blech! Anyway, just looking for others' experiences!
Re: Air duct cleaning?
I found an article from the EPA. I'm going to read it over and get some ideas. I trust them more than the people selling the service!

I feel you! We have a cat and there is just dust everywhere. H thought I was crazy when I mentioned something to him the other day about it. Then I played on his allergies and I think I might have him convinced.
Hey!
I think there is a post about this on the last page of the board (like page 8 maybe). The company's that were rec'd were Trinity & Rupert. Hope that helps! We are definitely getting this done at our house...
We had this done in our new (to us) house by Environmental Doctors, who are based out of somewhere just south of Dayton, I think. I was very happy with their work and overall professionalism. Our house's previous owners were chain-smokers and had a cat, and when they took off the registers, there was a nasty pile of dirt and linty-looking stuff back there. Gross. They actually had to shop vac the ducts before they could use their HEPA filter vacuum because they were worried the dirt would clog it up. But now, honestly, you can't smell the smoke in our house since the cleaning (which is good since I have allergies.) And I feel like I'm dusting less.
