Totally agree. In fact I was told by an HVAC person that the spinning brushes used to clean the vents often does more damage than good as it can leave leaks in your vents. Once a year we spray a can of lysol disinfectant into the air intake while the A/C is running so it circulates through the vents and disinfects the surface inside the vents. It takes a little while for the smell to go away, but it is a cheap and easy way to clean the vents without any damage.
