When dust has built up in your air ducts, it can hold on to odors and moisture. If you have cooking odors floating around your home that aren’t emanating from the common culprits like the trash or fridge, it could be tied to your air ducts. Especially if you are constantly cooking, your vents could hold on to the smell of grease, garlic, tomato, and smoke. Having frequent air duct cleaning will remove the debris that causes smells to linger while also reducing any greasy residue that has coated the inside of your air ducts.

Why Smoke And Cooking Odors Become Trapped In Air Ducts
Your HVAC system circulates air through the entire home, which means that it can often pull in dust, lint, dander, and more. When cooking, grease and smoke can get sucked into your ducts as well and settle on the other debris inside the duct work. Even if you remove debris, sticky residue from grease or steam can stick to the sides of your ductwork. Over time, too much build-up will result in a musty or stale smell that lingers even with routine cleaning.
Since your duct work goes through the entire home, these cooking smells can spread to other areas of the home. The air circulating through your home can become unhealthy when you have smoke particles running through the home. Air duct cleaning is your best bet to limit unhealthy air particles and unpleasant smells.
Removing Residue
Air duct cleaning will involve removing the debris and cleaning the actual duct itself. Removing residue from the inside of your ductwork can remove some of the odors in your home. The sticky or slimy residue that coats ductwork can also trap more debris than normal. Professionals use high-powered vacuums and specialized brushes to help remove grease deposits and freshen up the home.
Eliminates Mold And Bacteria
Another goal of professional air duct cleaning is to remove mold and bacteria. Food residue, smoke, or grease can all contribute to mold growth. Our team will use sanitizers and deodorizers that improve the overall health of your home. When food particles and smoke enter your air ducts, they are best removed with professional grade cleaners to completely eliminate mold spores.
Professional cleaners can also apply a sealant to prevent residue from sticking in the future. These sealants will prevent odors and particles from sticking to your ductwork and stinking up the entire home.
Changing Air Filters
Your air filters are placed into the ductwork to prevent the spread of particles through a home. Air filters are helpful in stopping dander, odors, and mold spores, but once they become overloaded, some particles could sneak through. Replacing the air filters during an air duct cleaning is crucial to a comprehensive service. When the filter is dirty, it can recirculate dust and odors, so it is best to replace filters every 1-3 months.
