An air conditioning system is a fertile ground for the accumulation of dust, mold and bacteria, so it is very important to clean the air conditioner and disinfect it regularly and at least once a month.
If you are not sure if it is time to clean the air conditioner, approach the door and smell if it smells bad or small lumps of dust come out of it.
If you have encountered one of these two signs, it is time to do a deep cleaning of the air conditioner.
Some companies will clean your air conditioner for 250-300 shekels, but if you want to save this expense, you can do it yourself, and in fact there is no reason not to - this is a fairly simple operation.
In tool stores you can find cleaning kits (NIS 250-150).
Such a kit includes air conditioner cleaner and a detailed explanation of how to clean an air conditioner and also why it is important to do a molded air conditioner cleaner.
If you want to save this expense you can use with edible vinegar at a concentration of 5%.
First, unplug the air conditioner, clean the viewfinder, and cover the electrical components.
Then, start cleaning the filters.
To do this, carefully disassemble them.
Rinse them well with water pressure, wait for them to dry, and only then put them back in place.
Please note, do not clean filters with alcohol or bleach.
Also, do not remove dust and dirt from the air conditioning system.
This is an ineffective action, which has done a lot of damage for its benefit.
If the air conditioner is inside the room, it is important to also clean its casing, on which dust and dirt accumulate.
Can be cleaned with a special spray for air conditioners (NIS 80-100), or with a damp rag.
By no means clean with a degreaser.
It is a toxic substance and you may breathe it.
After cleaning the air conditioner and the filters, it is advisable to spray a special anti-mold material in the air conditioner and ventilation ducts (NIS 150-200).
Before turning on the air conditioner again, it is important to make sure that it is not wet or damp.
Pass with a dry cloth over the vents and filters.
Note: Moisture is a fertile ground for bacteria to form.
It is impossible to finish without referring to air conditioner cleaning in the corona era.
There are currently no studies showing that the virus passes through the ventilation ducts, but you should follow the publications, and in any case fresh air outside is better than air coming out of the air conditioner, so you should occasionally turn off the air conditioners, open the windows and allow new air to enter the room.
