We are here to help you maintain your air con and its filters. However if you would like to clean the filters, here are some of the steps you should take. (Be extra careful! Hire a professional if you are unsure of anything).
Step 1
Turn off the electricity to your air conditioning system.
Step 2
Remove the internal unit’s cover. Air conditioners are different, sometimes covers are screwed in, while other times they have locking push tabs. If it has screws, unscrew it carefully and keep the screws in a safe place.
Step 3
Unclip or slide out the filter from the unit and vacuum it ensuring you take off any builded up dirt.
Step 4
In a large container mix ½ cup of vinegar and ½ cup of water and let the filters soak. The vinegar removes allergens and hurtful bacteria.
Step 5
Immerse the filter in the cleaning solution and soak it for a few hours.
Step 6
Take the filter out of the mix and allow it to drain. Don’t rinse it or blow-dry it. Simply let it dry. Once it is completely dry, return it to its place and cover the unit once again.
