Every owner of a car or home air conditioner knows that a very important part of its operation is its regular air conditioning cleaning. Indulging in this activity brings unpleasant consequences in the form of unpleasant odors, inefficiently working air conditioning and health problems. It is not worth exposing yourself to such unpleasantness and ensure a thorough cleaning of this sensitive area from time to time. Do you know how to properly clean, de-fumigate and why to disinfect an air conditioner? What is the difference between cleaning and de-fumigation and what is full-spectrum disinfection? Find out how to take the best and most effective care of your cooling source.
Cleaning and de-fumigation of air conditioning
Air conditioning cleaning is an essential maintenance job, during which we remove all dust and dirt from the surface. We should take care of this activity on a fairly regular basis, even when the naked eye does not notice dirt. Air conditioning cleaning at home should take place whenever we maintain the air conditioner, and even more frequently if necessary.
Cleaning the air conditioning at home can usually be done by yourself. It is just one part of taking proper care of an air conditioner. It gets rid of physical dirt, but dangerous fungi, bacteria, viruses, bacterial spores or mycobacteria can still be present in the air conditioner.
De-fumigation of the air conditioner – why is it so important?
In general, de-fumigation involves removing all fungi and mold and their spores. You should de-fumigate all air conditioning components, including the internal ones. Failure to do so can damage the air conditioner and even expose us to serious health problems. The air conditioning de-fumigation procedure is usually applied twice a year, preferably in early spring and autumn.
We also perform maintenance whenever we smell an unpleasant odor from the air conditioner. It testifies to the development of unfavorable spores, which in a short time can attack the entire air conditioning. So it is worth taking care of air conditioning de-fumigation regularly and not expose yourself to unpleasant consequences. As with air conditioning cleaning, air conditioning de-fumigation does not remove all microorganisms because viruses, bacteria, mycobacteria or spores remain.
For de-fumigation of air conditioning at home, we can use special preparations or buy ozone air conditioning, which, despite its popularity, is unfortunately not the most effective method of maintenance. Although this method removes fungal germs, unfortunately it does not deal with dust and dirt and other types of microorganisms. This is definitely unfavorable, since dust is an excellent environment for the growth of all kinds of microorganisms. Therefore, the effects of ozonation alone will have to be repeated in a short time.
Air conditioning disinfection
Disinfection, depending on the quality of the disinfectant, involves the removal of viruses, bacteria, fungi and other types of microorganisms such as mycobacteria or bacterial spores. Often the term is used interchangeably with decontamination, but their meanings do not quite coincide. De-fumigation is only part of the disinfection process and should not occur on its own. Only with comprehensive air conditioning cleaning and air conditioning disinfection will we get lasting and satisfactory results. Full-spectrum biocidal disinfection effectively eliminates Fungi, all Viruses (if a biocidal product removes Polio, Adeno, Noro then according to European standards for chemical disinfectants it is assumed to remove all other viruses) , Bacteria, Mycobacteria, Spores.
A preparation that cleans air conditioning, de-fumigates air conditioning but also disinfects air conditioning with a full biocidal spectrum is NANOCLEAN® AC8. It provides guarantees of effectiveness and safety confirmed by test reports according to European standards:
EN1040, EN13727, EN1276, EN13697, EN13623, EN1275, EN1650, EN14476, EN13704, EN14348.
How to deal with air conditioning maintenance as soon as possible?
Full air conditioning maintenance can, of course, be outsourced to a professional company engaged in this type of service, but this involves a fairly high price. Every few years such a visit is even advisable, before choosing a company you should ask what agents they use to clean and disinfect air conditioning and whether they are full-spectrum preparations such as NANOCLEAN® AC8. We do not always have to go to specialists for help. We can easily perform air conditioning service at home, saving time and money.

What does air conditioning disinfection and de-fumigation consist of?
Having air conditioning is more of a norm than a luxury these days. Owners of this system use it both in their homes and cars. However, it is important to realize that air conditioning is not only a benefit, but also a responsibility, the omission of which can take a heavy toll on our health.
Why clean the air conditioner?
Every air conditioner works on the same principle. The air intake allows air to be drawn in from the outside, which, thanks to filters and a central unit, exits inside the building clean, cooled and fresh. Of course, this is only the case if the entire air conditioning system is regularly cleaned and shown to service technicians, otherwise such air conditioning should not be used at all.
Dust, insects and condensed water, after prolonged residence on air conditioning elements, become an excellent breeding ground for all kinds of bacteria, viruses, disputes, yeast, or other pathogens that cause dangerous diseases – mainly of the respiratory system. In order to prevent such danger, the air conditioning system should be regularly disinfected. However, if we have neglected our equipment, it is worth ordering de-fumigation, and then also disinfection, to make our air conditioning functional again.
What is andatwhat is de-fungulation anddisinfection of air conditioning?
CLEANING FIRST STEP OF DECONTAMINATION
Removal of visible dirt, grime from the surface to the degree necessary for the next stage of decontamination, which is disinfection. The washing process is a very important step in decontamination, when performed correctly there is a reduction of up to 80% of microorganisms, but the removed microorganisms are still alive. If performed incorrectly, the washing process can lead to increased microbial contamination.
It is important that disinfectant preparations have good cleaning properties, for example, alcoholic preparations do not have effective cleaning properties, so we use them on previously washed surfaces.
NANOCLEAN® AIR is 100% CLEANING EFFICIENCY. Thanks to the multi-component active base.
DISINFECTION is only part of disinfection. The purpose of decontamination is to reduce fungi to a level that does not pose a health risk. Degreasing does not destroy other microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, mycobacteria, spores. NANOCLEAN® AIR 100% EFFICIENT DEFROSTING, thanks toits innovative formulation.
DISINFECTION SECOND STAGE OF DECONTAMINATION
A broad process aimed at destroying microorganisms and their spores from surfaces.
Depending on the degree of destruction of microorganisms, the disinfection process can be divided into two levels:
Low-level disinfection – removal and destruction of bacteria, fungi and some sensitive viruses.
High-level disinfection is the reduction of bacteria, fungi, mycobacteria, enveloped and sheathless viruses (the most difficult to remove Polyoviruses, Adenoviruses, Noroviruses) and spores, or spore forms of bacteria.
NANOCLEAN® AIR is 100% SAFE. FULL BIOCIDAL SPECTRUM: Viruses, fungi, bacteria, spores, mycobacteria. Legionella pneumophila in 1 minute.
If our home or car has started to smell unpleasant, and the musty smell spreading around is indeed not pleasant, we should consider de-fumigation of the air conditioning – such a smell is proof that, unfortunately, but fungi have taken up residence in our air conditioning, the inhalation of which is absolutely not a healthy way to live. If we avoid prolonged intervals of de-fumigation, this smell should not occur, which is why it is done no less than once a year.
Air conditioning de-fumigation can be carried out by using ultrasound. This involves the use of a special atomizer, through which a suitable active substance enters the ventilation ducts, but ultrasound does not clean the spore and most of the preparations used by this method have only refreshing properties.
Another way todehumidify is ozone, which involves closing off a room or car and letting ozone into it. Unfortunately, ozone also has a number of disadvantages and is not always worth opting for, especially when dehumidifying a home air conditioner.
The third way is to use foam – using foam of this kind is relatively simple. However, most foams have only refreshing properties or a basic spectrum of action that is bacteria, fungi basic viruses. NANOCLEAN® AIR is an option for those for whom safety and guaranteed effectiveness come first.
Car air conditioning cleaning
Any person who cares about his car knows that regular air conditioning cleaning and de-fumigation of its air conditioning along with disinfection of the air conditioning is a must. Especially right after the winter season, when fungal spores and all kinds of bacteria, viruses even love to multiply in warm places. Home air conditioning also requires systematic care. Neglecting this duty can have very unpleasant consequences.
A contaminated, moldy air conditioner is not only much less effective, but can also cause dangerous diseases and illnesses. In particular, our skin and respiratory system are particularly vulnerable to allergic reactions and even serious and irreversible damage. Unfortunately, just washing or even de-fumigating the air conditioner is not enough. Indeed, fungi are not the only problem that air conditioners suffer from. They also harbor viruses, bacteria, yeast, spores and mycobacteria. An ordinary air conditioner cleaner removes dirt, debris, some of the bacteria but will not deal with all the bacteria, viruses, mycobacteria, fungi or spores. In order to get rid of all microorganisms, the air conditioning cleaner must have adequate biocidal properties.
You can, of course, go with your car to a service center or ask for help from professionals, while paying attention to whether the service centers use full-spectrum cleaning products: viruses (Polio, Adeno, Noro), bacteria, fungi, yeast, mycobacteria and spores. However, you can also clean and disinfect the air conditioner yourself. The basis is to choose the right air conditioning cleaner and disinfectant.
Cleaning car air conditioning yourself
Among the best preparations available on the market are products from the NANOCLEAN series. NANOCLEAN AC8 is a preparation for cleaning and disinfecting air conditioners in the car and at home. NANOCLEAN preparations are hygienically certified by PZH. They are characterized by a full biocidal spectrum. That is, they remove all viruses (if a biocidal product removes the viruses Polio, Adeno, Noro then, according to European standards for chemical disinfectants, it is assumed that it removes all other viruses), bacteria, fungi, mold, yeast, mycobacteria spores. Using only one product, it is possible to get rid of both bacteria and fungi, mold, as well as viruses, yeast, mycobacteria and so-called spores. All this in just a few minutes after use. Also important is the fact that Nanoclean AC8 aerosol products are completely safe for humans, as they do not contain any acids, aldehydes or chlorine. Using them, our car or cleaned air conditioning will certainly not suffer either. The product is fully compatible with metals, as well as plastics and rubber. Now available in the form of an aerosol, it will ensure full safety and smooth operation of any air conditioning at home as well as in the car. NANOCLEAN AC8 Ready-to-use spray (trigger pack) for home air conditioning is coming soon.
Cleaning and de-fumigation of home air conditioning – what preparation to use?
Home air conditioning is becoming more and more popular, as people are beginning to realize how much convenience it provides them. It is usually installed by investors of houses with usable attics, which seems quite obvious. It is worth considering at the stage of construction, because if you do not have the budget for installing air conditioning, you can leave a properly designed space for it, so that the installation of air conditioning in the future will be much easier.
How to take care of air conditioning at home yourself?
Cleaning the air conditioner ourselves is therefore extremely important. We can clean the air inlets and outlets ourselves with a damp cloth, which guarantees, at least, less dust in the air. Absolutely do not use hard brushes for this activity. The filters should be cleaned every two weeks, and even every week during periods of increased operation of the device. The situation changes when, despite regular care of the air conditioner, it stops working as it should.
The right solution is to use a professional air conditioning cleaning product, with the help of which we will disinfect it to the maximum extent. It is worth using NANOCLEAN AC8 for this, which comes in the form of a semi-dry foam. Thanks to it, we will remove all kinds of fungi, yeast, mycobacteria, bacteria and viruses from our air conditioner, all within 15 minutes.
High-pressure foam is very easy to use, and thanks to appropriately adjusted pressure, it penetrates deeply into channels that we would not be able to reach otherwise. It is also perfect for cleaning and disinfecting any waterproof surfaces – both hard and soft. When buying this kind of product, it’s worth investing in a few right away, so that you can have your air conditioner cleaned at regular intervals – especially when the hot weather causes more intensive use of this kind of equipment.
When should you ask for help from professionals?
At least once a year, you should call a professional service to your home air conditioner for a thorough cleaning. Skipping these activities can take a significant toll on your health, so don’t forget about it for your own safety. Service should also be called whenever we have any doubts about the operation of our device. However, regular service inspections are not all that is worth remembering. During such an inspection, all air conditioning units are cleaned, the entire system is checked and the cooling system is checked.
Another thing is air conditioning disinfection, which we can’t do ourselves. Cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the air conditioner is done by specialists with experience, adequate knowledge and professional equipment. Getting rid of all possible viruses, bacteria, fungi, disputes and other dangers is the basis of taking care of home air conditioning.
