What is the best way to get rid of mold near my registers?

Charlie:
Next up it’s Gary in Cleveland. He says, “What is the best way to get rid of mold? I’m getting mold around my vents in small rooms.” I think he means his registers there.

Tom:
In his registers, very good Charlie.

Charlie:
Thank you.

Tom:
Those are the vents that the air comes out of your air conditioner. It’s not mold, it’s mildew. The best thing to do is clean it once in a while. In fact you can take those registers down once a year, clean them, put them back up. I know Charlie does.

Charlie:
Absolutely.

Tom:
Absolutely.

Charlie:
I’ll send you pictures next time I do Tom.

Tom:
This is one time I can tell you don’t have to call Absolute Comfort Air, you have to call a maid and then go head and have these things cleaned because they don’t do that service.

Charlie:
You might go out in the garage, there’s a thing called ladder. Go get them.

Tom:
A step stool is fine. Don’t use one with wheels. That’s why ladder don’t have wheels.
