Cleaning air ducts can be challenging and time-consuming, but thanks to several technological innovations, there’s now an easier way to get the job done. A few years ago, one had three options for cleaning hard-to-reach parts of the home. The possibilities were hiring an expensive professional service, renting an industrial vacuum cleaner, or doing it yourself with a long stick attached to a hose and a brush at the other end. Here are some equipment and tools that have made cleaning air ducts easier.
1. Rotovac 360
Rotovac 360 is a handheld tool that uses brushless technology to clean carpets and rugs deeply. It was initially developed as a tool to deep-clean sports equipment, but the design team realized it could also be used to vacuum rugs.
The Rotovac 360 works by rotating a brush roller in one direction and blowing air in the opposite direction. It gets into tight areas, including air ducts, and helps remove dirt from carpets and rugs.
Although it’s expensive, the Rotovac 360 is a worthwhile investment. Its brushless design requires less effort than a traditional vacuum cleaner, so it’s ideal for homeowners and businesses.
2. Duct-Stick
The Duct-Stick helps remove debris from ducts. It’s meant to be attached to a power socket or an extension cord. The Duct-Stick is not a vacuum cleaner, though. It uses standard suction power and can’t pick up large objects. It’s designed as a low-cost alternative for cleaning air ducts.
3. GoPole
The GoPole is a helpful stick designed to make cleaning air ducts easier. It attaches to the end of your air cleaner hose and can be connected to a power outlet or extension cord to clean up the items. You can also use it with other portable tools, such as blowers and dusters.
4. FurnaClean
FurnaClean is a vacuum designed to clean terracotta and concrete floors. It uses a rotating brush bar to sweep dirt and debris. However, FurnaClean can also be used in air ducts. It has a flexible hose that attaches to your air cleaner hose and a rotating brush bar on the other end. The brush bar is powered by an electric motor built into the vacuum.
5. Duct Daddy
The Duct Daddy is a handheld appliance that attaches to the end of your air duct cleaner hose and uses suction power to clean air ducts. The Duct Daddy can be attached to any standard vacuum cleaner. It has three rotating brush bars inside and a powerful motor that produces watts of suction power.
6. Zoom-Zoom
Using Zoom-Zoom can make cleaning ducts easier. It attaches to your air cleaner hose, then connects to a power outlet or an extension cord. The Zoom-Zoom can take the place of multiple tools and be used with other devices.
Technology has helped to make cleaning air ducts easier. Many tools can now make the job easier, faster, and more effective. They’re much easier to use than traditional vacuums and can significantly reduce the time and effort needed to clean the air ducts.
