No matter how clean your home is, regular cleaning of your floor register is essential because it will build up dirt and dust over time and disrupt circulation in the long run. Before you jump into cleaning, be aware of the composition of your register. The best way to do this is to check the care instructions on the product and follow accordingly. Also, make sure you turn off the heat, cooling and/or venting fans before cleaning. Not turning off your ventilation system while cleaning vents may trigger on the blower and thus, kick dust and grime into the air thereby creating more dirt for you to clean.
While there may be exceptions that permit you to cover your floor register like in the case of pets with small paws or a crawling or learning-to-walk baby with tiny feet, you are strongly advised against covering while your vent system is on. But there are coverings specifically designed for your floor register, so avoid using rugs or furniture as coverings.
