Which safety practices should be followed during cleaning to reduce fire risk?

Leave power connected for testing, use metal ladders near the vent, use any tools, and work in a cluttered area.

Disconnect power, avoid ignition sources, use non-sparking tools, and maintain a clear, labeled work area.

Eliminating ignition sources and keeping the workspace controlled is the main idea when cleaning to reduce fire risk. The best approach is to disconnect power so there’s no electrical arc or hot surface that could ignite lint or dust, avoid any ignition sources altogether, use non-sparking tools to prevent sparks if something strikes metal, and keep a clear, clearly labeled work area so hazards are visible and access is easy. Leaving power connected for testing, using metal ladders near the vent, and having a cluttered area create opportunities for sparks, heat, or trips that could start a fire. Merely wearing gloves doesn’t address ignition sources, and using high-heat solvents near the duct can vaporize and ignite. Following these steps minimizes the chance of a fire during cleaning.

Only wear gloves; no need to disconnect power.

Use high-heat solvents near the duct.
