Learning how to clean an air conditioner can increase its efficiency, prevent breakdowns, and prevent mould, mildew and other allergens from entering the home. Often, air conditioners, whether they are window units or central air systems, are not maintained for months or even years. This can subject the machines to moisture, degradation, and a terribly foul smell of mould and mildew. Follow the steps below to effectively disinfect and clean an air conditioner.
Clean the condenser
Remove the fan and clean the inside fins with a disinfectant cleaner like Dettol® Disinfectant Multi-Use Hygiene Liquid.
Clean the indoor unit
For window units
Knowing how to clean an air conditioner that sits in the window saves as much money as cleaning your own central air system.
A disinfected, clean air conditioner will allow for a fresher smell, safer environment, and will help your family remain healthy all year.
