Cleaning air conditioners can be a laborious task, especially when you have a long to-do list to get through on any given day. That’s where professional cleaning services can take over. With their experience and expertise with all types of air conditioners, they can take care of cleaning your air conditioners and your home.
How should you clean your air conditioners?
The most common type of air conditioner in Australia is the split-system air conditioners, however, ducted and wall window models exist too. The following steps can be applied to all three.
01. Read the instructions
Most electrical items come with safety and maintenance information. Check the manual for details on how to open up the air conditioner safely. If you have bought the air conditioner as part of a home and don’t have the manual, it can easily be looked up online on the company website.
02. Clean the indoor unit dust filters
Make sure the system is switched off before you start to open it up. The dust filters are vital to clean since they can easily become clogged up with dust. You usually need to open up the outer plastic cover to access. You can vacuum the dust off it, or clean it in warm soapy water. If you go for the latter option, make sure it is thoroughly dry before it is replaced.
They should be cleaned every few weeks or months depending on how regularly you use your air conditioner. If you use it regularly, you can easily make the cleaning part of your regular domestic cleaning service.
03. Decide whether to replace or clean the air filter
Some air conditioners come with air purification filters. These also need cleaning or even replacing annually or every couple of years. If you are cleaning your air conditioner for the first time in years, it may need replacing rather than cleaning.
04. Clean the air conditioner’s louvres
These are the oscillating blades that direct the airflow in an air conditioner. You can clean them a thorough clean with a dry cloth or with the vacuum cleaner.
05. Tackle the the outdoor unit
This part of the air conditioner should be clear of surrounding grass and plants. You should brush away dust, leaves and cobwebs regularly. This can be done with a vacuum cleaner that can remove the dirt and dust from the outside as well as the inside. If you need to clean inside the outdoor unit, opening it up should be left to professional services.
06. Professional cleaning services
Your air conditioner can easily be cleaned by professional services. They are well equipped and experienced to deal with air conditioner cleaning properly and efficiently.
