In the summer, air conditioning and wifi are called standard equipment for living, but air conditioning is probably not as beautiful as you think. Let’s learn about it with the editor below.
How dirty are the air conditioners that are not clean often? Foodies will say it is a refrigerator, while fat people will say it is a fan and air conditioner. The editor believes that to spend the hot summer comfortably, fans and air conditioners are really indispensable, and air conditioners undoubtedly play a more important role. Friends who are used to the air conditioning environment will, once they have to live in an environment without air conditioning for a long time, it will simply "take their lives." In short, air conditioning is really important in summer, and fat people who love to sweat should agree with this point of view very much.
The cleaning of air conditioners is often a problem that we tend to ignore. The main reason may be: laziness, and if we don’t remove the cover of the air conditioner, we often don’t know how dirty the air conditioner will be. Some air conditioners have not been cleaned once every few years. The situation inside the air conditioner may be very scary. Continuing to use such an air conditioner is definitely not healthy. So when the hot summer comes, how should we use simple methods to clean the air conditioner? What should friends who are preparing to buy air conditioners pay attention to when purchasing? How to clean the air conditioner filter before cleaning?
Regarding the experimental results, the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated that when the uncleaned air conditioner was turned on, a large number of microorganisms were blown into the indoor air. After a healthy person unknowingly, he was knocked down by the microorganism's invisibility technique.
Therefore, it is recommended that the air conditioner be cleaned simply before it is not necessary to re-open for a long time. Especially for air conditioners with weak and sick people at home and patients with respiratory infectious diseases, cleaning should be strengthened.
The way to clean the air conditioner filter is: first cut off the power, wipe the outer surface of the air conditioner with a semi-dry rag, then open the air conditioner panel, find the air conditioner filter, and gently remove it, wipe the inside of the air conditioner with a dry rag, and brush the removed air conditioner filter with tap water or if conditions permit, you can choose to soak it in disinfectant and then scrub the air conditioner filter.
In addition to the filter, the air-conditioning heat sink is also terrible
In addition to the air-conditioning filter, the bacteria on the air-conditioning heat sink should not be underestimated.
In 2011, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention and Fudan University conducted on-site household air conditioners surveys on Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen. It was found that 88% of the domestic air conditioner radiators had a total of bacteria exceeding the standard, and the degree of dirt was comparable to that of the toilet.
The survey pointed out that the total number of molds in 84% of the air-conditioning radiator exceeded the standard, and the maximum bacteria detected on the air-conditioning radiator can reach 91,259 per square centimeter, nearly 40 times more than the standard.
The test results confirm that most households have excessive bacteria and mold in dust accumulation in air conditioners, and the number of bacteria in the most serious households exceeds 50 times that of shopping mall central air conditioners. The pathogenic bacteria in air conditioners mainly include a large number of bacteria such as mold, Legionella, Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, the air conditioner also has Legionella, Bacillus cereus, mold, Staphylococcus aureus, etc.
The air conditioner heat sink is disinfected once a month
The Indoor Environment and Health Branch of the Chinese Society of Environmental Science recommends that the air conditioner be cleaned and disinfected at least once a month. However, cleaning of the heat sink is a difficult problem. Non-professional personnel cannot disassemble it and can only rinse it in place. The heat sink is softer and cannot be brushed, which may cause a short circuit in the air conditioner.
If conditions permit, it is best to ask professional air conditioner cleaning staff to clean and disinfect. You can also use professional air conditioner cleaning agents, and there is no need to disassemble the air conditioner. It must be cleaned and disinfected before the new air conditioner is used for the first time, when the old one is used again after the season is changed or after being idle for a period of time.
If you smell a peculiar smell during the use of the air conditioner, the refrigeration effect is poor or the filter screen is dusty, disinfect and clean as soon as possible.
