Ok…I know, this is supposed to be about art or the process of being an artist…well…I’m an artist and I still have to do house work and fix stuff around the house and studio so this fits!
I’m getting ready for the holidays and with that comes the dreaded deep cleaning that most folks do to make sure the most persnickety of guests doesn’t leave whispering under their breath that your house was a mess! This is particularly important for folks like me with pets and problems with pet hair getting down into the heater vents…
I was changing out my vent filters when I realized…I MUST SHARE MY HOUSE HACK WITH THE WORLD! Why? because it works and its cheap and it saves time and money and somebody else out there probably doesn’t know about it…maybe I’m wrong…I might be the last to know about this…but anyway! Here it is! To watch the video… vent-scrubby
If you have trouble with the video, I’ve added a still pic to show you how it’s done. And here are some basic directions.
- Buy some Scotch Brite scrubby pads.
- Vacuum out your heater vent and use one of the scrubby pads to clean the vent until it sparkles…
- After the first time you clean the vent you won’t need to clean your vent anymore!
- Take another scrubby pad out of the box and place it in the vent hole!
- Put the vent cover back in place.
The kids toys, pet hair, dirt, dental floss, candy wrappers and whatever else might have landed at the bottom of your heater vent and hard to retrieve is now trapped in the scrubby and easily removed! And…the vent works very well and the air still flows thru with ease…
