Did you know that Aircon filter can be wash and recycle used?

I did it long time ago.

Good so far I had see you guys already in used with DIY Daiso filter, at least you guys know my answer before.

How dusty they are for sticky in fins else.. Really not easy to clean out and almost blocks into fins and the difficult to intake new air also blower works harder

this DIY daiso filter can be wash and reuse ???

Better change new ones. Not that expensive especially when buying from Daiso.

I did it for wash and reused ha ha

i just bought this yesterday and try out.

waxco diy aircon cleaner.

quite effective to clean the dust inside cooling coil.

after spray left for 5mins to dissolve with dust, then turn on aircon for 15mins minimum as per instruction, but i turn on straight 2hours.

the condensation in the cooling coil will cause water droplet bring along the dust and drain out automatically from drain pan.

so it's a real easy diy to use.

after complete, only remember forgotten to clean aircon blower

Daiso should slightly different from aiexpress or TB

If there is aircon mold stick on the metal fin, how to remove it?
It become harden even vacuum and brush cannot remove.

I'm using a stiff brush, if it doesn't clean well, perhaps it's time to call in Aircon servicing.

I tried the DIY aircond cleaning.. quite good since I have total 9 airconds at home.. I cleaned 7 airconds in two days.. only the indoor units.. total cost was
- RM20 for the spray pump bought at Ace Hardware.
- RM46 for the coil cleaner bought at Ace Hardware. I think this is not a good one though. Not the foaming type. Still have to use brush to clean the coil.
- RM7 for the big plastic to channel water from aircond out to pail. I bought the ones people normally used for covering floor when painting. Bought at hardware shop.

Wa 9 aircond son, save lots of money

To clean the blower, use Aircond cleaning spray is easier and more efficient.

yeah.. cannot tahan la one aircond they charge RM150.. once I clean, the aircond really feel different.. much colder and blower also more powerful..

Yes no choice air cond need maintenance. Also the compressor require cleaning if not will be efficient just cleaning the blower

My compressor not so difficult to access, it's just that I could not find a foaming coil cleaner like the ones used by the professionals.. if got that, it would be easy to do.. anybody know where I can buy those?

Let me know anyone would like to know how to clean. I can give free lesson.

i just take out the aircon blower, spray with magiclean kitchen cleaner, wait a minute then hose off - super clean. taking the blower fan out and putting back in is a 5 minute job. while its out can also clean the innside unit nicely with damp cloth, brush over the condenser foil if needed, wipe the casing and there you go - good as new. outside cleaning also similar, just spray the fins with a sprayer. i use mainly warm water and add a bit of magiclean kitchen cleaner to and some detergent. creates a nice foam. let it stay (normally i spray the compressors one by one and only once the last one is done i star at the first to hose off. cleans pretty decently also, so i can get 6 outside compressors done in approx. 40 minutes.

1. Remove the directional plastic flaps
2. Fix the brush onto your vacum cleaner and start brushing the blower wheel inside. No messy liquid on the wall/floor


You can vacuum the filters with this too without even need to remove them and wash from its slots

Someone told me newest air cond., the blower wheel is removable without unscrew anything but im yet to find any model with that feature.

Hi guys, i'm new to aircon cleaning. Decide to diy.
I live in condo.

Clean the these parts enough? How about the compressor? It hangs outside, so danger to clean.
1) aircon filter mesh
2) the long cylinder shape blower
3) the coil fin
