How We Do Air Conditioner Mould Removal

The first thing we have today before we clean the air conditioner is to make sure you are electrically safe so we come out and we turn off the power to the ac.

Now we move to the second step where we go in and prep the air con. So before we start the job we need to don the appropriate PPE. I'm wearing a hard hat because we have no plaster ceiling in place. We got tiles exposed up there that is why I have a face mask to protect myself from any dust particles & mould spores.

So we prepped the air conditioner. We have up some plastic sheeting to catch the water as we wash it through with a treatment solution. The next step is we have to pull off that front cover of the air conditioner and then we go through and start cleaning with brushes and a pressure spray to get all of the contaminants out of the rotary fan and the coil.

I have removed the cover from the split unit, you can see it is very contaminated, it has lots of dust and mould spore growth. I have also covered the electrical box so we don't get any moisture inside of there. This is an important step of the process. First we HEPA vacuum the coils and the barrel fan. This is to make sure we remove any excess dust and mould spores and also makes the cleaning process a bit easier. Next, we use a variety of small brushes to clean all the nooks and crannies, and I pressure spray with a mould treatment solution to remove all the mould spores in the unit.

This is why the HEPA vacuuming is so important because you get rid of the bulk of the dust and the contaminants. That way you are not pushing it down into the core. We then flushed the rest of it through with the pressure spray and brush, and it comes up clean as a whistle at this point in the cleaning process

If you start to get an overflowing drainage tray, that means there is a blocked drainage pipe, so you will have to go through and clean that before you continue. The next stage is to clean the barrel fa and cowling. I do this with a brush and the pressure spray and you can rotate the barrel fan to get the contaminants off it.

This part of the stage is the rinse. So we are just rinsing it with plain hot water. It is best to use RO water so we don't use any residual minerals behind. It's just a matter of rinsing off the coils in the barrel fan, making sure it is very thorough.

Now we are just cleaning the external cowling. So we just go through and do these with a brush and some soapy water and we will clean the filters under a tap. This is the air conditioner clean job completed This will increase the efficiency of the air conditioner dramatically because you haven't got all that dust and contamination in there interfering with your barrel fan also, you will have a lot better flow via coils and its worth doing appropriately every 12 months you should inspect it and have it cleaned if required
