hello my friends today i want to show you an amazing way to clean your air conditioner
when it is inside the window and you don't want to remove it from the window and it's the way
to do it from the inside if you look in here i'm not talking about just cleaning that air filter
i'm talking about actually cleaning and see all this nasty stuff and i want to show you two ways
to do it um one should be super good but let's go ahead and take this off right here okay you wanna
hold this for a second i went ahead and i already unscrewed there's four screws um so i went ahead
and already unscrewed but i want to go ahead and pop this off and while we're cleaning this i might
go ahead and spray this with some bleach water or something or soak it in bleach water or something
um to go ahead and start um because this thing itself looks a little bad so i'm going to need
to cut this right here but i want to go ahead and take it off and you can see kind of like what it
looks like right there and so let's go ahead and get to cleaning all right so we went ahead
and we we took this off there's like two screws here and we got this thing in a bag right here
so i want to go ahead and um maybe clean this up a little bit put it uh maybe just place some root
bleed spray on it um and i need this to be drying out while we're doing all this the two screws that
were here were holding this electrical paint yeah this little piece right here yeah so we put it in
a bag to keep it from getting wet or bleach on it yes all right so i'm gonna go ahead and take care
of this all right so i'm just spraying this down some of this maybe a mold and i want this to be
soaking and working some while we're cleaning it out so just kind of spray it on let it soak
got some stuff in there and um this should be working for us while we're cleaning out oh it is
gross all that stuff if you have like a bleed soap mixture may work just be careful because sometimes
some bleach uh some oblations some different types of soap may actually make poison scoops
all right so we want to show you two different ways this is a way in case you don't have a shop
vac with like specialty tools um to suck it off this is this way can actually work
but what is your method here um i have a toothbrush and you want to be very gentle
you don't want to bend the metal here um and i just kind of use the toothbrush
to kind of like fling the dust out by doing this little like that okay and then what what's that
for the toothbrush and then after after i get as much off as possible while it's dry
then i would have the spray bottle that has just ivory soap and water just a mild soap
and i will go ahead and spray from the top down and it will kind of run all the way
down all the dust and the dirt will run down and then what i would do if you don't have a vacuum
a wet vac is i would um soak it up with paper towels just kind of stick paper towels in here
gently and soak up the water okay so i have right here a rigid shop vac this is like a spatula t1
because it's the kind that can actually disconnect to become a blower and then i have some reducers
right here don't worry i want to put amazon affiliate links in the description hopefully
um so i have like reducer type things right here and then it brings it all the way down to do like
the detailing so i'm gonna go ahead and get this out of the package and get it all set up and start
okay these are really cute um they're just like tiny little attachments and brush and then there's
like a suction here so if you were doing this and you have a shop vac you can just suction the water
right out of the bottom if you were going to use um water but i think these are really useful and
um it's kind of interesting to see how this works on the we've never done this before so normally
she would do it the old way with the with the toothbrush but it takes a while there may be
some really nasty sludge that gets like down in here so this should work out really well for
that
all right so the vacuum took a lot of it out now she's got some water and soap um
if you use a spray bottle that has a stream you can actually really like
get some of that dirt out but this one doesn't have a real strong stream but
i'm just gonna wet it down and then like um use the toothbrush
and then i i dipped the toothbrush in a cup of soapy water to clean it off as i go along and kind
of um because some of the dust has gotten moisture and so then it like hardens on like down here it
wouldn't vacuum off it's kind of like hardened on to the um whatever these are called what are
they called coils is that what they're called but you can see it coming cleaner as you go down it
it's like getting back to that metal color instead of being coated in dusty grime so this takes a
little while but if you're patient you can get it nice and clean and then your air conditioning will
work more efficiently i've done um i think two videos on how to clean it from the outside
and i also want to do a video on of how to clean an air conditioner like if you want to get really
really extreme and remove it completely from the window and then like how you can go about cleaning
it to get like a really aggressive thing um even more so maybe even than this um but this is a
really good way to do it for the inside of your um home so let's go to time lapse all right before we
go to time lapse i just want to say it's a good idea to have your air conditioner unplugged first
and also um you want to do a paper towel away um just the soaks up the water that you're spraying
if you have a paper towel sitting in here just kind of helps soak it up as you
drip water and also you're gonna be careful of electric eyelids
so as you can see we're making a lot of progress here um
the ac unit the bottom left is still a little dirty
but it's definitely coming way way way way cleaner you can uh kind of see it's uh really coming along
so let's go ahead and go back to
time-lapse
okay everyone so there may be like mold back in here different ac units may be a little
bit different for this one she's spring uh she wants to go and spray bleach in there to kind
of get rid of a little bit of the mold that's starting and then she wants to rinse out with
water um obviously you need to get rid of all the bleach so you don't have like the fumes blowing
back at you because that could be hazardous so how long do you want to let that set for um
not long few minutes all right so the bleach has been soaking for a little while
now she's wiping it out and then what do you want to do and i'm just going to rinse it with
a little uh water just plain old water um we've had air conditions in the past that got really bad
mildew all in here and that's gross and like the air you're breathing it's coming out and so
i would recommend doing this periodically before it gets too bad but in florida we have really bad
humidity in the summer and it can really get bad fast i think there's this guy right here
all right um are you gonna spray the water too okay yeah so i'm just gonna rinse it off
just to try to get the bleach off of there
and um you don't really want to just be careful with the bleach fumes make sure
it's all gone before you're running your air conditioner and also just remember that bleach
is corrosive to aluminum so something to keep in mind you may not want to let that sit there
you want a paper towel
and then um on the bottom of the air conditioner we went to uh probably
going to like use the shop vac to uh just kind of suck some of that out
and um which attachment do you want you want this little one yeah
okay so we have so we can take the shot back and bring all the way down to this little teeny tiny
thing right here which is kind of cute it's a very huge shot back to have something so small
we want to go ahead and turn it on and let's go
um
okay so now we have this part right here now i had gone ahead and sprayed bleach on this earlier
and i went ahead and was rinsing it off earlier in the water you wanted to get back a little bit
um so it's like way way cleaner um i need to go ahead and screw this on i might wipe it
down a little bit there's two small screws and then this was held on by four screws
so i want to go ahead and take this out put it on screw it on and then screw this up
all right my friend so we have a really like far much like cleaner ac unit here um you can see
the coils see how beautiful it looks remember how disgusting it looked earlier by the way
