Duct cleaning, any ideas?
Have a 26' Forest Riv, with 2, approx. 4"x10" registers in the floor for heat. Is there any simple way to clean the ductwork between the registers? Ideas appreciated.

there are round duct like pictured above and rectangular hard duct (not so hard)…
Super soft sponge balls which compresses so small that it allows you to make a great duct cleaner out of them, or the nylon net kitchen scrubbies …
For the round duct vacuum a small foam ball with a string attached through the duct from one end to the other to be used as the draw string…
attach soft sponge ball to the string and pull the sponge through the duct (making sure string is long enough that the foam ball is attached to the middle and can be pulled back and forth or pulled back if something is binding it…
and vacuum whatever it pulls out… you may have to do this several times… this should work if the duct isn’t already damaged…
there are better, and good, round duct out there if you need to replace them…
the rectangular duct is easier to clean because it straight, but remember it isn’t much more than foil itself… don’t stick anything hard in them… use string the drew the cleaner back and forth and you should be ok…
