How can I clean my HVAC ducts without hiring a professional company, as my duct is spitting black debris in my new bathroom and I’m thinking of using a shop vac in each vent?

How can I clean my HVAC ducts without hiring a professional company? I just noticed that my ducts are spitting out black stuff in my new bathroom. Do you think using a shop vac in each vent would do the trick?

It sounds like there may be insulation in your ducts that is breaking apart and being blown out of your vents.

‘s decision seems logical because I created a new opening in it

I had a problem with black particles coming out of my vents. Stanley Steemer checked and said the ducts were fine, but they were actually rusting near the grills. I ended up putting grill filters on, but I needed to apply an anti-rust coating to the duct openings.

I totally agree with the person who commented below me. That explanation really hits the nail on the head.

I like to vacuum out my vents with a shop vac every now and then. It really helps with our indoor allergies.
