Cleaning AC Vents

Anyone here clean out their AC vents?

How do you take them off?

I know the center vents come off easy w. a screwdriver under the bottom.. but how about the one on the drivers side and passenger side?

It looks filthy and I want to get all the grime outta there.

Thanks

Maybe try getting a piece of wire(you pick the length) attach a microfiber towel to it. Maybe have the mf towel be a little damp then move in and out of vents

I could use q-tips... but it wouldn't really be perfect.. I wanna get ALL that stuff outta there.

There's gotta be a way to take the side AC vents off!

I know in the 4th gen maximas you need to take apart the dash to take out the side vents.
