How to Clean a Car Air Conditioner?

That is the place where the air filter is located. The air intake vents for air conditioners vary across different car models, but generally, they are located beneath the wipers. After locating the air intake vent and removing the air filter, you should turn on the external circulation of the air conditioner, but remember not to activate the cooling function. Once the air conditioner is turned on, you can spray the cleaner into the air intake vent, but before doing so, the cleaner should be shaken well.
How many steps does car AC cleaning involve? Last time I did it myself, I found the most crucial parts were cleaning the evaporator and air ducts. The cooling component hidden behind the glove box is most prone to dust and mold buildup. Purchase specialized cleaning foam online, remove the AC filter, then spray it into the air intake. Turn on the AC at maximum fan speed with internal circulation for 15 minutes. Important reminder: Close all windows tightly during operation to prevent foam splatter. The blower fan blades also need to be cleaned with a fine brush, otherwise residual foam can cause bearing rust. Finally, don't forget to wipe the vent gaps - using alcohol-dipped cotton swabs works particularly well. After cleaning, remember to ventilate with windows open for half an hour to dissipate odors. If possible, add UV ozone sterilization to completely eliminate mold.
