If you have a vent pipe that is clogged with dust, hair, or other debris, it’s time to clean it. Here are four easy steps to follow:

  1. Turn off the power to the vent pipe by flipping the switch on the wall near it. This will prevent any accidental damage from being done while you’re cleaning.
  2. Use a vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment to remove all of the debris from the vent pipe. Be sure to use the right type of vacuum cleaner for this job - one that has a crevice tool specifically designed for cleaning vents.
  3. Pour a pot of boiling water into the vent pipe and wait five minutes. This will loosen any stuck particles and make them easier to remove with your vacuum cleaner.
  4. Use your vacuum cleaner’s hose attachment to rinse out the vent pipe thoroughly before turning off the power and returning everything back to normal. ..
