the only way to really get it clean is to remove the blower, most will
slide out, and get after it with a brush and water hose. I've had to
pull a lot of them out of HVAC air handlers and clean the blades because
the dirt build up will make the blower much less efficient at moving
air. It is a pain in the buttocks to clean them. ^_^

TDD

NYS has few swampers. The one I've seen was the one I
helped take apart, and haul away. The squirrel cage
blowers can be lot of work to clean. One I did in
middle of winter, trying to wash it all out with a
garden hose, standing in snow. No fun. Summer time,
I'd probably have used a pressure washer.
