Mold Removal Chicago
Question. Chicago, IL - We had some water damage in our home a few months ago and now every time our furnace or air conditioner comes on our house smells musty. Ralph Wilderson, our neighbor says we need to get a duck cleaner. It seems so stupid I didn’t even ask him what he was talking about. Confidentially I think Ralph is a little on the dumb side. Ducks living in our house? On the other hand it does smell a little like a duck when the furnace runs. What do you think the problem is?
Answer. I don’t think. I research. And my research indicates that your neighbor might have been referring to duct cleaning, as in “air duct cleaning”. Apparently if moisture has found it way into your air ducts they might be growing mildew, bacteria and even mold. You need a professional. (Perhaps more than one!) Many carpet cleaners and water damage restoration firms offer duct cleaning services. The professionals suggest you hire a CMH or Certified Mechanical Hygienist and start with an inspection of your air duct system.

It’s a sad thing to be clueless. Even while The Clueless Cleaner believes that cleaning can be fun and hopes to provide a bit of entertainment, Professor Q hopes that his research might point some folks in the right direction in terms of solving perplexing cleaning issues.
Here’s what you need to know. Other than being fictitious, Professor Q is just like you and me: Fallible! He knows nothing about cleaning! Out of the goodness of his heart he’ll look it up when someone has a truly clueless inquiry. He has dozens of reference books and of course the Internet. But he has not checked out these solutions personally and as far as he knows the experts he researches might be just as clueless as the rest of us. Probably not, but who knows?
So do your own due diligence before proceeding with any cleaning solution. Just one more slight word of caution. The Professor has noticed that a lot of these cleaning experts say the same thing over and over again, doubtlessly to cover their own tails. They say, “any one trying a cleaning solution should test it in an inconspicuous place–whether you are cleaning your silk blouse, your carpet or your driveway. Find an out of the way spot to make sure the cleaning solution doesn’t cause more problems than it cures.”
