Air conditioner clean and disinfection treatment
- Check instructions. Follow the AC unit manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning at all times.
- Turn off the power. Ensure no power is running to any internal or external part of your unit. Turn off any power points that the unit is plugged into. If possible, turn the power off at the main circuit board.
- Protect the area under and around the unit from splashes, spills and mess. Using a wash bag that fits around your unit and catches the drips and dirty solution is ideal.
- Clean filters. Apply, gently agitate, rinse and dry.
- Clean coils, rotary blades and internals of unit. Apply by spray trigger or foam trigger. Allow to dwell for 10 to 15 minutes. Keep moisture away from electronic parts.
- Rinse thoroughly. If water source is not available using a pump up garden sprayer to rinse can be effective. Do not use high pressure water blasters.
- Final disinfection treatment. Apply by spray bottle to inside and leave. Spray and wipe down the exterior of unit.
Air conditioner disinfection only

- Spray the coils, blades and internals by spray trigger or foam trigger and let it dwell for 10-15 minutes, keeping moisture away from electronic parts.

Why clean and disinfect an air conditioner?
- Better air quality, because units can get blocked with dust, bacteria, pollen, mould, fungi, moisture and skin cells. Clean air is important for health, especially for allergy sufferers.
- Control of harmful bacteria and viruses. Treatment of air conditioners is critical in the control of bacteria and virus spread.
- Lower power bills, because a clean AC runs with better energy efficiency, and clean coils can reduce fan motor workload by up to 30%.
- Longer life, with fewer repairs. Well-loved air conditioners last longer, with fewer repairs, trouble and cost.
How often should an air conditioning system be cleaned?
Here is the recommended maintenance schedule to ensure optimum air conditioner hygiene...
Weekly or fortnightly:
It's a good idea to run your system on 'DRY' mode every 1-2 weeks to reduce moisture buildup and help prevent mould and bad odours. This 'DRY' setting will work as a dehumidifier would.
Every 1-2 months:
Wipe the down the exterior of your unit including the vents and ducts every 1-2 months. Give the inside a wipe where you can and spray treatment.
Every 4-6 months:
Clean or replace the filters in the indoor unit. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Yearly:
Full clean and disinfection treatment of the complete unit.
Is Air Guardian self-rinsing or self-cleaning?
It can be, but XO2 recommends rinsing all the muck away when you treat the unit, because rinsing does a much better job than letting the condensate clean it away. Leaving chemicals on coils in a unit that's used can also increase VOCs in the air, which can be unhealthy and upsetting to the respiratory system.
Is Air Guardian pet-friendly?
Yes. When used as directed on air conditioners, it's safe around pets and humans.
Is Air Guardian septic-safe?
Air Guardian is used in and around air conditioning units, therefore it does not ever make its way into a septic system. Therefore it is not applicable. However, Air Guardian is a hospital grade disinfectant designed to kill bacteria and virus', so you should not pour this sort of product into a septic system. Not that you would anyway :)
