Comment on YSK: If your house has a split AC unit it probably could use a cleaning
dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 1 week agoI don’t think anyone is suggesting you take a hose to your indoor units. How on Earth you would contain the splashback is anyone’s guess.
Use your hose on the outdoor unit. I use compressed air on the indoor ones, like OP. You can buy the cleaning foam stuff, too. Probably from whoever made your split system, in fact. I’ve never found it to be necessary, though.

I mean, I guess that would work, but why wouldn’t you use a vacuum cleaner? I mean, if you’re hitting it with compressed air, now all the dust is all over the room.

It’s impossible to get a vacuum in all the nooks and crannies. Especially between the fins. Compressed air is pretty much the only option.

Yeah. Just prepare for dust. Wear a mask, open a window…

Compressed air combined with a vacuum cleaner to capture what the compressed air blows loose.
