Due to trapped particles and its warm condition, air conditioner can become a fertile breeding ground for germs. Therefore, it is not only important to clean your air conditioner (aircon) regularly but ensure that it is actually clean.

Get the aircon cleaning kit
Turn off the aircon
Slide an aircon dust bag behind the aircon unit
