Abstract

A vent cleaning system capable to being used in the home to remove allergens, dust and other debris and pollutants from our heating and cooling vent system. The vent cleaning system is operable to attach to either a person'"'"'s vacuum cleaner or a wet/dry vacuum. By attaching the hose to one of these suction devices, the user can suction out allergens, debris and pollutants. Once the suction process is completed, the user can then attach a sponge to the hose to wash the vent out. After the completion of the washing process, the sponge can be discarded and a new sponge attached to apply deodorizer.

Claims

a hose operable to attach to a suction device at a first end;

a brush operable to attach to a second end of said hose;

wherein said brush is used to remove debris from the vent;

a sponge operable to attach to said second end of said hose;

wherein said sponge is operable to wash the vent; and

a second sponge operable to attach to said second end of said hose;

wherein said second sponge is operable to apply deodorizer to the vent.

2. A vent cleaning system of claim 1, wherein said suction device a household vacuum cleaner.

3. A vent cleaning system of claim 1, wherein said suction device is a wet/dry vacuum.

4. A vent cleaning system of claim 1, wherein said hose is detachable from said suction device.

5. A vent cleaning system of claim 1, wherein said hose measures at least twelve foot in length.

6. A vent cleaning system of claim 1, wherein said brush is detachable from said hose.

7. A vent cleaning system of claim 1, wherein said first sponge is detachable from said hose.

8. A vent cleaning system of claim 1, wherein said second sponge is detachable from said hose.

9. A vent cleaning system of claim 1, wherein said first sponge and said second sponge are disposable.

10. A vent cleaning system of claim 1, wherein said hose can operate independently from the suction device while cooperating with said first sponge and said second sponge.

11. A method for cleaning a vent having a suction device, a hose having a connection on both ends, a brush and a first and second sponges, said method comprising the steps of:

attaching the hose to the suction device on one end;

attaching a brush to the hose opposite the suction device;

using the brush in cooperation with the suction device to eliminate allergens, pollutants and debris from the vent;

12. The method of claim 11, wherein said hose can operate independently from the suction device while cooperating with said first sponge and said second sponge.

13. A system for cleaning vents in a home comprising:

a suction device;

a hose attachable to said suction device on a first end;

a brush attachable to said hose on a second end and wherein said brush operates to cause the hose to ingest debris from the vent and wherein said brush is removable from said hose;

a first sponge attachable to said hose on said second end and wherein said sponge is operable to wash the inside of the vent and wherein said first sponge is removable and disposable;
