A/C cleaning

Clean the vehicle's A/C system with foam or spray. Foam expands and removes bacteria from the evaporator core. Sprays only reach exposed surfaces. Choose foam when odours persist. Use a lance for the deep core. Check the drain hose for blockages first. Make sure the cleaner fits aluminium.

A/C cleaning: foam, spray or ozone

What this category covers

A/C cleaning tackles dirt, bacteria and odours in the cooling system. You choose per job between foam, spray and ozone treatment. Foam expands and reaches deeper layers. Spray only works on the surface.

Foam and spray

Choose foam when a stubborn odour keeps coming back. Use a lance to reach the evaporator block properly. Check that the cleaner is suitable for aluminium. Many technicians order a spray when they need foam. That happens with odour complaints that return.

Ozone and odour

Does the odour return after foaming? Then ozone treatment is the next step. The ozone penetrates the evaporator and air ducts. Choose a unit with adjustable ozone output, so you match the dose to the car. That way you tackle bacteria that foam cannot reach.

What to watch during use

Always clean the A/C with the right equipment. A service set contains the parts you need for a maintenance service. Use the correct adapters to prevent leaks. It must fit the car's cooling system. A universal adapter is often the safest option. Work to the manufacturer's instructions. That prevents damage to the system and keeps the A/C hygienically clean.

Which job, which choice

Surface dirt? Take a spray. Returning odour? Take foam with a lance. Odour that stays after foaming? Bring in ozone treatment. Unsure about the connection? Then check air conditioning and maintenance for the rest of the tools.
