Keeping Vents Clean During Demo
When it comes time to tear out those walls, it’s easy to get too excited and start into it without taking a couple minutes to prep. Keeping Vents Clean During Demo takes a couple minutes. Cleaning your vents out after demo takes forever. 
Keeping Vents Clean During Demo
Although I forgot and got half my Closet Wall torn out before I looked down and saw all the crap falling into my vent. Nice! Here’s my no brainer to keep all that crap out of the vents…provided I remember to do it.
1. Remove vent cover.
2. Place old T-Shirt (or kitchen towel or sheet or scrap of fabric…) over the hole and replace vent cover.
3. When done with your demo, clean surrounding floor, then fold the sides of the T-Shirt up over the vent and pull the whole thing out- crap and all.
4. Dispose of crap and replace clean vent cover.
It’s true what they say about “an ounce of prevention”. It’s just so HARD to remember to take it!
Wish we would have thought of this before a 2 by 4 fell into the vent and vanished out of sight. I’m not kidding. We had taken out the vent cover, laid a short 2 by 4 over the hole and when we went to clean up down the rabbit hole it went. Do you think we have a blockage somewhere? UGH! Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
Such a brilliant idea. One of those “why didn’t I think of that” moments?
