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

taking out the middle vents you ojust pull hard it doesn't break anything just pull and give a little wiggle for the side ones i couldn't get them out but prolly the same I just couldn't get a good grip i guess.

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