AC Coil Fins Cleaning Question

Sep 25, 2005 4 Replies

Fred,

Corrosive cleaners make them shiney but eat up the coils over time. Avoid highly acidic or akalyne cleaners and your coils will last longer. Use self rinsing coil cleaners, they are easier on the coils in the long run. You want a high foaming DETERGENT, not a cleaner that foams because it attacks the metal.

Hi All!



Anyone have suggestions on what type of cleaner to use on the aluminum fins on an AC evap coil?



TIA



Fred


EasyOff Oven Cleaner really makes them shine.

I've had good results with either four x, or alki foam.
