Cleaning Mini Split Air Conditioners is not as daunting a task as most population perceive it to be. 90% of the Fan Coil Unit (Fcu), the one where cold air comes out of, is waterproof. Only 10%, ordinarily to the right of the unit contains all the electrical components and electric motor. This area is well protected from the rest of the blower since it is potential that condensation will form along the inside of the coils throughout the entire distance of the fan coil.
List of Items needed
Home Made Air Conditioner
- A safe and strong chemical Detergent (Do not use industrial cleaners)
- A Wash Bag
- A Gardening Compress Air Sprayer
- Maybe a Philips screw driver if your air conditioner is extremely clogged with dirt
What you would need is a very good chemical cleaning explication that is convention designed to lift the sticky dirt and grime from the fan coil fin surfaces and the cylindrical fan blade. Contrary to what most population believe, it is perfectly safe to wash the Fcu directly on the wall. No dismantling should be necessary if you have the right tool to do this. All you need is 3 steps to clean your split air conditioner. Remove all the front cover and filters before you start. Wash the filters separately in the toilet or sink.
1. Wear the Wash Bag colse to the air conditioner fan coil unit.
2. Spray the chemical cleaner onto the coils and the fan rotor. Use a flash light if you have mystery locating the fan blade. Just look into the tube where the air ordinarily flows out. Make sure to get the spray all colse to the rotor blade.
3. Wait a while for the chemical to soak in. Then rinse the fan coil and the rotor blade completely with fresh water until clean using the pressure sprayer jet to loosen all the dirt. Remove the wash bag and dispose off the waste water in the toilet bowl.
Note: You may want to turn on the air conditioner before removing the bag to allow the excess water on the rotor blade to be spun off into the bag. Wipe dry and replace the filters and cover. Done!
Since this is so easy, I now clean each air conditioner every 3 months and enjoy the fresh clean cool air without paying the hefty aid prices or spending huge amount of time servicing them. I hope this will help you safe a lot of money and time. It sure helped me! I recommend you to watch the video to get a clearer idea of exactly how simple this process is. Enjoy.
