• Letting the foaming coil cleaner sit for 5 to 10 minutes allows it to properly soak into the coils.
• Removing the top lid of the AC unit allows you to spray out dirt and debris from the inside out.
• Condenser coils can look clean on the outside while having buildup trapped between the fins.
• Checking around the unit to ensure there is no debris blocking airflow is critical after cleaning.
