How do I clean car air ducts?
What's the best way to clean my car's air vents? They are filthy, but I'm not sure how to deep clean them.
Eric Schad · Updated on

“To deep clean car air ducts (commonly called vents), you’ll need a can of compressed air, a strong vacuum, and a clean microfiber cloth or two.
Because dust and even mold—ew—can get trapped deep inside the ventilation slots, it’s a good idea to clean your car’s air ducts regularly. Here’s how:
- Spray a can of compressed air (aka electonics duster) into the duct to get the dust out.
- Next, vacuum each of the vents as well as possible. Then, turn your air on full blast and vacuum them again.
- Finish up by spraying a clean microfiber cloth with car cleaner and wiping away any remaining dust from the vent slats.
Consider adding this type of cleaning to your
basic car maintenance schedule
. By doing so, you can make sure that your car’s air quality and appearance remain in tip-top condition.Make room in your budget for regular car maintenance by saving on car insurance with the
