moral of the story: I think I'm going to hire a professional duct cleaner for the rest of them, this is gross...
Re: spring cleaning weekend: things I found in my return air duct.
My Home Bio
we have two return air vents in the house, and both are in the floor. On if about 1 ft x 1 ft and one is 2.5 ft x 1 ft. I just removed the grates and used the shop vac in there to get as far as I could. My shop vac has two extenders for the nozzle. I set them down into the duct and then attached them to the hose, since the whole thing wouldn't fit in if it were assembled already. Both ducts extended horizontally underneath the floor, so I was able to vacuum about 4-5 feet inside each one.
I did end up cleaning the second one even though I swore I wouldn't, and all I found was a receipt and a bottlecap.... whew.
