My car was soda media blasted I think ( its the white stuff that looks like baking soda) before I got it and went on with the restore. There was powder everywhere. I cleaned all the visible residues before restoration and paint.

For the first time, I completed the installation of the heating system last month. As I had the heat on with the fan blowing, I noticed the soda smell coming out of the vents.

Can the smell do any harm?
What is the best way to clean the heat tunnel?

I don't think there is much in there, I uses a vac to blow and suck the dust before installation. Can I just detach the hose coming from the firewall / long to the flappers. Them disconnect the hose behind the speakers and water hose it ? What would you suggest?
All opinions welcome.
