Complete air conditioning system cleaning according to the state of the art

When was the last time you thought about a thorough cleaning of the air conditioning system in your car? For many drivers, regular maintenance of the air conditioning is not necessarily a top priority. Yet, it is crucial for a hygienic, healthy, and comfortable interior climate. Learn why thorough cleaning of the car's air conditioning system is important. Our airco well® process helps to rid your car's air conditioning of bad odors, bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms.

• Protect health: In the damp and intricate areas of the air conditioning system (especially on the evaporator and pollen filter box), harmful bacteria, germs, and fungi settle over time. If they are not removed, they can spread inside the vehicle and affect the health of the occupants.
  
• Avoiding unpleasant odors: Who isn't familiar with this – a musty smell as soon as the air conditioning is turned on? This is often caused by microorganisms and deposits that settle in the system.
  
• VDI/ZDK Guideline 6032: The Association of German Engineers (VDI) and the Central Association of the German Motor Vehicle Industry (ZDK) recommend in their guideline 6032 (Hygiene Guidelines for Ventilation Systems in Vehicles) a regular complete cleaning. This cleaning process should be carried out at least every two years to minimize health risks.

The airco well® system is the solution that demonstrably meets all the criteria of the VDI/ZDK guideline 6032 – without the use of biocidal disinfectants, fragrances, or dyes. The combination of chemical-mechanical cleaning and high-pressure flushing removes dirt and pathogens exactly where they originate.

1. Cleaning of the pollen filter box

Why is that important?

• The pollen filter prevents dirt particles and pollen from entering the vehicle's interior. However, some of the filtered material accumulates in the filter box. When changing the filter, these particles can become dislodged and cause new contamination.
  

How does it work?

• Using a special aerosol cleaner (including a spray probe), the entire pollen filter box and its surroundings are thoroughly moistened. This ensures that no deposits remain, and the adjacent air ducts are also freed from microorganisms.
  

The benefits of cleaning a pollen filter box:

• Long-lasting freshness indoors
• No unpleasant odors
• No re-settlement of bacteria and mold

2. Cleaning the evaporator

Why does the vaporizer need to be cleaned?

• The damp cooling fins of the evaporator provide an ideal climate for germs and fungi. Moisture and dirt can quickly accumulate and multiply there.
  

How does the vaporizer cleaning work?

• A special airco well® hygiene cleaner is sprayed directly onto the evaporator using a pressure cup gun. The high-pressure rinse dissolves and removes all contaminants as well as the biofilm that has formed due to microorganisms.
  

The result of the evaporator cleaning:

• Harmful bacteria, germs, and mold are effectively removed
• Unpleasant odors are eliminated at the source
• Sustainable improvement of air quality without the use of questionable disinfectants

airco well® is environmentally friendly and safe for health:

• Without biocide, dyes, and fragrances
• Prevents resistance-forming disinfectant residues
• Independently tested and certified by gui-lab, a consortium of environmental engineers and laboratories specializing in indoor air hygiene and environmental technology.
  

The gui-lab label confirms: “The products effectively clean components of vehicle air conditioning systems that are relevant to hygiene, in compliance with regulations and without compromising health.“

This ensures that your vehicle's air conditioning is cleaned with the latest technology – and in a sustainable manner.

A clean car air conditioning system is crucial for a pleasant and healthy atmosphere inside the vehicle. The complete cleaning of the air conditioning system with airco well® not only prevents unpleasant odors but also protects against harmful germs, bacteria, and fungi – all without worrisome additives. Follow the VDI/ZDK guideline 6032 and treat your car's air conditioning system to a thorough cleaning at least every two years.

Your next step?

• It's best to schedule an appointment with your workshop or an authorized airco well® partner near you.
• Enjoy a fresh, healthy climate in your car – and protect yourself and your passengers from potential health risks.
