probably best just to remove them. The process i had in mind for mine when i do end up getting time to clean them is spray degreaser (can stuff from supercheap auto works heaps well) let it soak then pressure wash it. Why did you want to clean them??

cos my heaters a bit smelly... i think it might be the boxes cos ive changed all the ducts.... ive also got to find something to replace the old wadding from the muffler things too... the old stuff was the main cause of the smell... kinda dusty burny type smell 🙂

dunno... its still a dusty kinda smell... it might just be cos i havent used it all year... would've thought the smell would go away after a week though.

mmm pour some oil into your heater boxes... should get rid of the dust, but then u gotta get rid of the oil 😠

but seriously i doubt its your heaterboxes, coz they have air flowing through the continuously and if you replaced all the ducts then i duno... maybe your just being fussy?😀
