    ganon nga lang basta na exposed mo na yung mga dapat linisin mga kung ano anong alikabok na nabuo sa loob basta walang charging of freon pwede naman DIY yan.. most of my AC unit ako nalang nag lilinis na kikita mo pa ng husto kung anong dapat palitan na malapit na masira

    Aalisin mo lang naman housing ng outdoor unit, at least yun maaalis lang then cover mo yun motor mismo or malayo naman yun motor sa fins eh...then bugahan mo na, if you were able to clean the indoor unit, balewala na yun outdoor unit

    The problem with cleaning split-type ACs is managing the mess. The outdoor unit is the easiest to clean. You typically just need a pressure washer and a couple of rags. But cleaning the indoor unit requires some technique, a bit more preparation, and a lot of patience.

    If the indoor unit is situated above some fragile furniture or electrical appliances (my indoor unit is literally above my home theater), these have to be removed first. Professional cleaners always bring along a piece of "trapal" to catch the falling dirt as they also try to channel the drain onto a waiting bucket. But it's not 100% effective as some water splashes can get to the ceiling or wall.

    ung indoor unit yan ung fcu (fan coil) sir tapos ung accu (compressor) ung nasa outdoor.....

    BTT:
    pag cleaning ng FCU normally, they put a big plastic forming a triangular shape and then may timba sa baba pang salo ng tubig.

    babaran mo muna ng strong mix ng joy bago mo banatan ng pressure washer. pag hindi makuha sa joy may nabibiling coil cleaner sa ace in case sobrang dumi na yung fins. aerosol can siya, spray mo sa fins, wait 15 minutes then rinse with water.

    eto siya >>> The Home Depot
