Cleaning Kits

A yearly deep clean keeps a mini split smelling fresh and running efficiently - the musty smell people complain about is biofilm on a damp indoor coil. A cleaning kit gives you the pieces the job needs: a wash bag that channels runoff into a bucket, a pump sprayer, and a coil-safe cleaner. The filters you just rinse in the sink; the coil and blower are what the kit is for.

Buying Checks

  • Use a no-rinse, coil-safe cleaner made for evaporator coils - not a harsh household cleaner.
  • A wash bag that catches runoff turns a messy job into a clean one - the piece most people skip and regret.
  • Never use a pressure washer on the coils; a pump sprayer and soft brush are all you need.
