Abstract
Vent patch cleaning systems are provided for motor vehicles. The vent patch cleaning systems may be configured for cleaning a vent patch of a vehicle component, thereby restoring air circulation through the vehicle component and reducing condensation build-up. An exemplary vent patch cleaning system may direct a fluid (e.g., washer fluid, airflow, or both) onto the vent patch for removing dirt and debris that could otherwise inhibit proper air circulation through the vehicle component.
