Any existing apartment or private house system requires systematic care and preventive measures. What is hidden in the depth of their ventilation ducts is the ventilation system of an apartment and a private house? How to clean and disinfect ventilation, in what ways with the most effective means?

Household sanitation in the apartment
Aspects of household sanitation require a comprehensive cleaning of life support systems (ventilation) of modern apartments and private houses.
A significant part of household sanitation is the disinfection of ventilation, which is responsible for the cleanliness of the air in the room.
It is sad to realize, but in a modern apartment or private house there are many possible potentially dangerous sources of air pollution.
It can be such sources of pollution:
• Combustion of fuel, for example gas
• finishing work during repair, resulting in short-term air pollution
• dampness due to faulty ventilation system, poor heating or temporary lack of heating
• products of evaporation and odors
• Smoking.
What should be done in such a case, when the apartment's ventilation and air-conditioning system does not manage to properly solve the problems? The answer is laconic: "It is required to clean and disinfect ventilation systems."
Methods and methods of cleaning the ventilation system
if the apartment dust
Theoretically, the dust is an aerosolized aerosol, which consists of a variety of differently suspended particles. Cleaning of the apartment air or a private house is carried out by the climate control, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
According to the requirements of sanitary norms, these devices must provide the maximum permissible level of dust concentration of 0.15 mg / m3. However, the internal components of the cleaning systems themselves are susceptible to dust accumulation. To see this, just open the ventilation duct cover to see a gloomy picture. On the walls of the air duct you can see the raids of dust of impressive thickness, which sometimes even hangs up in rags and clutters the air passage.
If you carefully review and conduct a chemical analysis of domestic household dust, you can find:
• microscopic dust mites-saprophytes
• faeces of mites and miasms
• household allergens
• The decomposers.
A shocking picture of the internal content of the systems pushes the idea that a correct and timely solution can be called cleaning and disinfection of the ventilation and air-conditioning system.
Disinfection of ventilating systems should be performed according to epidemiological indications. This does not mean that the team: "Attention! In the area of foot-and-mouth disease! "Must be performed immediately. It is recommended to disinfect the ventilation once a year.
Disinfection is performed with non-functioning fans and air conditioners. Disinfectant solution should be prepared in advance, as well as personal protective equipment: a respirator and gloves. Disinfection of system elements is carried out by means of their irrigation or wiping. After the disinfection of ventilation systems, the elements are washed with tap water and ventilated.
disinfectants
Existing disinfectants for ventilation and conditioning systems fully meet the requirements recommended for the elimination of the accumulation, spread and propagation of infectious agents. Means of disinfecting, intended for ventilation systems, are active against known microorganisms, bacteria and viruses. Disinfectants are used to kill bacteria that are the causative agent of dangerous infections. As a rule, special disinfectants are ready for use for application.
How can I clean the ventilation ducts of ventilation systems
cleaning methods
Distinguish the following methods of cleaning ventilation systems:
• dry cleaning
• mechanical cleaning.
The essence of the dry cleaning method is as follows. With the help of video inspection, a survey of the ventilation duct is performed, which visually shows the degree of contamination. Images of picturesque flakes from dirt and dust are transferred to the PC screen.
What is the video inspection process of the ventilation channel is shown in this video.
Now it remains only to clean the duct walls from dirt. Special equipment is used for these purposes. Then the drive, equipped with a flexible shaft and tips of a characteristic fan-shaped configuration, cuts off the walls of the ventilation duct of sediment and formation. The mobile filtration unit (PFC) sucks all deposits into the hopper of the hopper. The considerable length of the flexible wire allows the ventilation systems to be cleaned without additional tie-ins.
Mechanical cleaning is used to clean apartment ventilation systems in kitchens from formed fat deposits. Cleaning with a mechanical method is carried out manually using metal brushes, special scrapers and professional cleaning agents. To clean the inner surface of the channel it will be necessary to disassemble it partially, providing direct access to work.
The main signs of contamination of the ventilation ducts are unpleasant musty smells in the room, fogging of windows and rapid accumulation of soot and dust. Clear ventilation ducts in the apartment can be independently, without using the services of specialized firms. To do this, open the inspection hatches, remove the domestic fans and using an ordinary stick with a brush at the end remove the accumulated debris.
Removing the rags of dust and dirt, the ruff is wrapped with a rag, which is impregnated with a solution of detergent or disinfectant. With this device, the walls and shafts of the ventilation ducts are cleaned with active movements.
Clear the ventilation duct can be using a jet of air from an ordinary vacuum cleaner.
It is recommended to clean ventilation at the same time in the kitchen, without forgetting the ventilation in the toilet and in the bathroom.
If the apartment has air conditioning, split-system, then the cleaning of their filters.
How to clean the outdoor unit of the air conditioner with your own hands, is presented here.
means of mechanization for cleaning ventilation
In addition to manual methods of fighting dust in the arsenal of means of cleaning ventilation systems can be used:
• Pneumatic installations equipped with a turbine for rotating the brush
• Electromechanical installations
• devices designed for chemical treatment of air duct walls
• High pressure injection plants
• filtration blocks.
The use of installations of professional cleaning will be justified if the apartment or a country house is equipped with a system of forced-supply ventilation.
