You should clean them in the spring and throughout the season anyway but with all the tree spooge over the last couple of weeks, it's a good time to give them a rinse.

Other than taking the hose to them are you guys using any cleaning solution? Bought a house with an AC unit and hosed it off when we turned it on weeks ago and have been thinking about giving it a good once over.

To clean it properly it should be washed from the inside out and I wouldn’t use any chemical.

That's what all the youtube videos show. shower it from the inside to push the dirt back out the way it came in. But they all use chemicals.

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

I know nothing about this topic, I've never cleaned my A/C condensers, but this thread got me curious and found this article:

Although it does seem like the vast majority say it's a good idea.

Depends entirely on location. Mine doesn’t get a bunch of fluff stuck in it and could likely run a decade without needing cleaning. Others could use it several times per summer if it’s under a tree or nestled in some bushes.

Spray the foam on the fins, both inside and outside. Spray it down with a garden hose.Originally Posted by dj_rice

Sorry. Yes, you have to remove the top fan grill. Disconnect the power to the AC first.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Take a shop vac to remove any leaves and junk. Spray down the fins with a garden hose. Use a wide and gentle spray pattern. If you use a straight beam pattern you’ll risk of bending the fins. Then go in with the foam.
Lastly wipe down the fan blades before putting the top fan grill back on.

Mine doesn't look dirty at all, but mine was also just installed last year. And I don't cover mine with the cover in winter, the installer told me sometimes rodents like to use it as shelter in winter. Mine is installed on pads, not brackets so easy access to animals. I looked inside and theres a few leaves but thats about it. I should of went brackets so its higher up, I dont like when I'm mowing the lawn and all the grass clippings around it.

was going to ask the same thing. I guess it stops leaves and shit from dropping in when the fan isn't going. But it also stops things from getting ejected when the fan is going.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
