Tips to clean your car AC vents

The tight-spaced air conditioning vents are difficult to clean with a cloth. So, low priced foam paintbrushes do the effective trick of cleaning them minutely. At Clean Image, our detailing methods include a comprehensive cleaning of each and every car part, but by chance if your car AC vent emits a repelling odour or becomes extra dusty, you can clean it yourself with a disinfectant spray cleaner. Here are some of our tips to take care of the air conditioning system in your car.

Vent cleaning with a foam paintbrush

Foam paintbrush is the best choice to clean the inward depths of the narrow spaces between the vent slits.

Homemade cleaning solution

An easy to make homemade solution can be made by combining equal proportions of warm water and vinegar and then you can dab your foam brush into it to wholly clean the vents.

Rinsing

You can rinse your brush or use another one to remove the collected debris and dust fully and then finally, use a dry towel to dry up the water. The used brush should be then cleaned with warm water and dish detergent.

Replacing Air filter

You must replace the used air filter with a new one every once in a while to ensure a purified breathing atmosphere inside your car, especially if you live in a high-pollution city area.

Air intake vents

Keep the air intake vents free from dead leaves and debris by using a broom or small hand brush. You can spray the inside of the vents with a sanitizing cleaner.

Remember that enzymatic disinfectants will help to kill mould or fungi growth in your vent system and make your vent system anti-bacterial. Keeping the car doors and windows shut, you can spray the disinfectant cleaner inside the whole car also to make the inner air germ-free.

You then must turn your AC and fan to maximum power and later open the doors and windows with the fan still on for some time.

Mould growth prevention

Switch-off process

The fan should be allowed to blow even after you have switched off the AC, particularly before reaching a destination. This blowing is useful to prevent mould growth.

Importance of the blower

You should keep the blower running, with or without the accompaniment of the AC as this will keep the air fresh and shield against mould growth.

Car AC vents determine the quality of air you breathe while travelling in the car. For a healthy air intake, your vents should be cautiously maintained. Making your car shiny is not only about the outward appeal. The refreshing inner vibes matter to those who step into it and along with a fragrant car air purifier, a clean air vent is must for keeping the inside car atmosphere pure, fresh and mould-free.
