How to Clean the House's A/C Vent

Dirty air conditioning vents in your house will cause dust to spread while the air conditioning system is running. This not only contributes to making your house dusty, but it also increases the allergens found in the air. In addition to this, if the air conditioning vents become too dirty, it can negatively affect the performance of your air conditioning system, thereby making it less efficient.
