Fall Cleaning
Posted by By Eric G. Stark on 30th Oct 2018
Spring isn't the only time of year it pays to clean. With colder weather outside and the days getting shorter, you are likely spending more time inside.
You think racking leaves in the fall, but there is more simple things you can do at your home.
Sure, cleaning the roof gutters is important, but so are many things you can do inside your home.
Autumn is a great time for fall cleaning. I always say, "when there's frost on the pumpkin it's time to dust the bathroom vents (or something like that).
You spend more time indoors when the weather gets cold, so cleaning now makes your home more livable and safer.
McCombs Supply has some fall cleaning tips and is your provider for one-stop shoppng for all your furnace parts and HVAC needs, including ICM, White Rodgers and RobertShaw.
The bathroom is an important space to clean, no matter what the season.
- Clean off counters.
- Wipe down shower walls while showering.
- Wipe out sink.
Bathroom Vents
Cooler weather means more time inside; more time inside means more dust. Cleaning the ventilation in your bathroom is very important. Dust builds up and can impact breathing.
While cleaning the vents, you may want a new vent filter or cover.
Here are some suggestions.
If your vent color has turned yellow or isn't white enough for you, the BP33 Broan Aubrey Air Care bathroom ceiling fan grille grill cover white will do the trick.
This Broan Replacement Ventilation Fan Grill for a fathroom fan fits Air Care models AC2650, AC2660, AC2900, AC7550, AC7650, Aubrey. The size is 8-11/16" x 8-11/16"
It is spring mounted and they are 6-3/4" apart center to center.
The S97017702 Broan Nutone grille and lens assembly for 866RP fan unit is also a very popular lens cover.
The Grille is made of plastic, the lens is made of glass.
The Two spring clips attached that hold the grill to the unit are 12 7/8" apart.
It sells for $39.34.
While you have the ladder out and are working at your ceiling, you may want to replace the Broan fan motor.
Or maybe your fall cleaning also means replacing a broken motor or fan assembly. McCombs has the 0696B000 Genuine Nutone OEM vent bath fan motor wheel assembly for QT110.
There is also the attractive Nutone grille light lens 85315000 for a bathroom exhaust fan.
This is a white grille with an opaque light lens.
The grille measures 12-1/8 inches x 10-3/4 inches.
- Blower Wheel Includes a 6-1/4" diameter x 2" height metal mounting shroud that has 3 holes spaced 5-3/4" apart, center to center.
- Designed to fits models: QT100FL, QT100L, QT100LH, QT100LHM, QT100LM, QT110, QT110H, QT9093AB, QT9093BR, QT9093CH, QT9093WH
- It sells for $83.50.
The great thing about the fan assembly is its a "Plug and Play," meaning you take out the old unit and place this new unit there and - boom. You are done.
That's it. Drop the one out and put this in its place
If you just want a fan motor, MccCombs can do that as well.
The Broan 97008583 bathroom fan motor works great as a replacement vent fan blower motor.
Colder weather outside also means more cooking inside.
Now is the time to clean or replace your range hood filters.
The Broan Nutone SV03510 aluminum vent hood filter for Rangemaster series vent hoods works well as a replacement and it designed to fit series model 6400.
There is also the Broan Nutone vent range hood filter BPQTAF. It sells for $14.95. This is designed to replace filters measuring 11-1/4" x 12 inches and 11-1/4 inches x 11-3/4 inches.

Winterizing your kitchen
- Refrigerator: Clean the condenser coils. McCombs has refrigerator water filters.
- Stove: Put turn to self clean and and put a cup on ammonia in a ceramic dish in the oven overnight to loosen some of the baked-on food inside the oven, or heat the oven to warm and the ammonia will work a little faster.
