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!
You’re so hilarious “dispose of crap”. I might just be a dork, but that’s funny to me. What else do you call that crap other than crap?
Hi I discovered your post by mistake, I was searching Bing for Honolulu flooring providers when I came upon your site, I must say your webpage is really cool I just love the content, its astounding!. I’m in a bit of a rush in this instance to completely read your blog but I have favorited it and also signed up for your RSS feeds. I will be back when I free up some time. Bravo for a great site.
Where were you when my husband was demoing the kitchen backsplash :o( I have strongly considered painting any black furniture white so the dust is not as noticeable!
Yeah…it’s demo time. The most fun part, other than the “Tah dah”.
I feel your pain. I have grabbed the shop vac so many times to clean them out after I finish a project because I forget to cover those things. Sometimes I remember, but usually I don’t. Great tip. 🙂
