Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Vacuum with hose attachment
Dust cloth
Simple spray solution of vinegar and water

Step1

Take out the hose attachment on your vacuum and suck up any dust bunnies that are clearly visible on the register.

Step2

Remove your register if you are able to; most registers are easily removed from the air duct in which they are sitting. Flip the register with the side that you just vacuumed now on the floor. Vacuum the underside of your register.

Step3

Do a quick vacuum of the air duct, collecting any dust bunnies and random scraps that may be in the air duct.

Step4

Replace the register back to it's original position. Do another quick vacuum to make sure that you have gotten up all the dust and dirt that may have been kicked up during the removal and replacement of the register.

Step5

Spritz register with your cleaning spray and wipe with your dusting cloth. Repeat this entire process at least once a month.

Tips & Warnings

Make cleaning your register one of the final steps in cleaning your room. It is best to do it after you have done your dusting.
Some registers are not meant to be removed from the floor. Please do not try to force the register out of the floor.
