HOW TO DEEP CLEAN YOUR CAR AIRCON SYSTEM WITH OUR AIR CONDITIONER CLEANING KIT?
Why Deep Clean Your Car's AC?
The air conditioner in your automobile is crucial for keeping the interior comfortable and cool, particularly during the sweltering summer months. However, with time, dirt, dust, and other debris can block the air conditioning system in your car. It may result in unpleasant scents coming from the vents and decrease your AC's efficiency.
Because of this, it's crucial to clean the air conditioning system in your automobile regularly. It will assist in maintaining the efficient operation of your AC and the cleanliness and fresh scent of your vehicle.
So how do you clean the AC system in your car? Here are some pointers:
- Begin by switching off the air conditioner and opening the vents. Use a can of compressed air to remove any dust or debris that may be clogged in the ducts.
- Next, remove any leftover dirt or debris by reaching down into the vents with a vacuum cleaner attachment.
- Finally, wipe the AC unit with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
How to Know If It Needs Cleaning
It's time for auto AC repair if you smell anything odd from your car AC or if it starts blowing warm air. You may do it manually with an AC cleaning kit (find one here at HVAC Shop!) or have it serviced at a car AC repair company. In either case, it's critical to maintain a clean, debris-free car AC system.
HOW TO SET UP AN AIR CONDITIONER CLEANING KIT?
Since summer has officially begun, hot days have become the norm, which means your air conditioning unit has been working continually. For some air conditioning systems, it's preferable to have an expert come and inspect the unit, look at the ductwork, and ensure it's operating efficiently (like central AC). However, if you possess one, you may clean and maintain a window or portable air conditioner without paying for maintenance or a new unit. Good thing there are ready-to-use and complete aircon cleaning kits available!
Our AC Cleaning Kit is designed to clean any air conditioner wall unit without the trouble and risk of removing the device (FCU). Our cleaning method's fundamental component is a "super-detergent" that effectively eliminates all traces of biofilm without endangering the air conditioner.
Bio-slime, the "jelly substance" that seems to build up on the air cooling of your air conditioner, is particularly difficult to dislodge and dissolve with our cleaning solution.
Cleaning and Setting Up With Your Air conditioner Cleaning Kit
-
Window Type AC Unit
- Offset the device. Before dealing with an electrical device, it's usually a good idea to unhook the cord and turn off the power for safety reasons.
- Remove the front cover and wash it. Your device's front cover could be fastened to it by screws, knobs, or tabs. For directions on dismantling the cover in the front and disassembling your air conditioner, consult the owner's manual.
- Take the filter off. It should normally be in the front of the device. If you need help finding the filter, read your manual.
- Clean the filter. Rinse the filter in warm water containing a little soap after wiping it. Allow the filter to dry completely before putting it back in the appliance.
- Locate the coils. The condenser coils are often located in the back, while the evaporator coils are typically in front of window air conditioners.
- Cleaning of coils. Clean the coils of debris with a soft brush or cloth. After that, clean up any leftover dirt with the formula in your kit or a spray bottle full of slightly soapy water.
- Put a new front cover on. Before reinstalling the front cover, ensure the entire unit is dry.
-
Central AC Unit
- Shut off your air conditioning. Once more, this is a crucial safety procedure.
- Locate the vent. Depending on how your home was constructed, the central air conditioner vent might be located on the floor, under windows, in the ceiling, or on the walls.
- Vent cover removal Your vent cover may need to be unscrewed with a screwdriver, or you may only need to push tabs to open it, depending on how it is fastened.
- Take the filter off. The filter should be directly behind the vent cover.
- Get the filter clean. If your AC vent has a washable filter, clean it using the procedures listed above under "Window AC Unit."
- Switch out the filter. If you do not have a reusable filter, replace the current one with a new one, ensuring any arrows are pointing in the proper directions.
- Put the outdoor device to sleep. Find the exterior breaker switch, which is usually adjacent to the condenser coils under a flip-up lid, and turn it off.
- The condenser unit's top should be removed. For information on how to unscrew the top of your device, consult your manual.
- Debris removal Remove any dirt, grass, leaves, or other debris from inside or around the unit using a vacuum.
- Spray water on the device. (Use a hose; avoid using a power washer, which could harm the fins.) spray the appliance gently to remove any remaining debris, being careful not to get the power box wet.
- Dry off. Before turning the condenser unit back on, ensure it has dried fully.
HOW EFFECTIVE IS IT IN CLEANING OUR SYSTEM UNIT?
For fresher, cleaner air inside, wipe out the cooling coils of your air conditioner of all the grease, grime, fungi, mould, and another build up. Your AC will operate more effectively after cleaning, and the room will smell even fresher. The water-based cleaner in our air conditioner cleaning kit is safe for the coils and fins and doesn't require rinsing.
Why You Need to Keep Your AC Clean
The food you eat, the water you drink, and the air you breathe are the three most critical to maintaining good health. What does it matter if the air you breathe every day is contaminated? It's a dreadful situation, but it happens more often than you might think.
Every time you use a mouldy air conditioner, it releases bacteria and mould spores into the air and your lungs. You must quickly fix your mouldy air conditioner if you don't want to get a persistent ailment! If your air conditioner is stale, you put yourself and the weakest of your family, co workers, and friends at risk for various potentially grave, even fatal, health issues.

- Lower your energy costs. Your air conditioner will use less energy to keep your home cool if it operates effectively. A clean air conditioning unit will reduce your monthly energy costs.
