Inhaling micro organisms like e.g. Cladosporium, Penecillium, Aspergillus and Alternaria can cause Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Diphtheria, Meningitis, Asthma attacks, allergic reactions and Whooping cough. This not only impacts the health, but also the safety of the driver / passenger and others.
When the AC System smells, the worst stage of contamination has already occured. A COOLING COIL & FILTER BOX cleaning is long time overdue. Just replacing the filter, masking the smell with air fresheners or trying ineffective products will not address the root cause of the problem.
An uncleaned cooling coil can accumulate dirt and grow more and more micro organisms in between the narrow cooling fins. As the air stream won't get in direct contact with the metal fins anymore, this negatively affects the cooling function of the AC. This could also higher the fuel consumption of the car.
A cooling coil that has never been cleaned may need to be replaced because of a complete choking. This process requires dismantling wide areas of the dashboard, takes a longer time and bears risks of scratches and "Cracking Sounds" after. The cost for a replacement can range up to around 10x of a professional COOLING COIL & FILTER BOX cleaning.
The real problem zones are the moist and dark fins of the COOLING COIL. They mostly remain untouched and drivers, passengers and their families might unknowingly inhale months, if not years of debris of bacteria, virus, mould, fungi and other micro organisms.
Most workshops do not have a special cleaning product or want to clean the filter box before the regular filter replacement. The clean, new filter will be placed in a contaminated filter box and therefore infested within a short period of time.
Only the cleaning of HOME AIRCONs is mandatory, but not CAR AIRCONs. Especially in the tropical climates of Asia, it is highly recommended to clean according to the GERMAN CAR HYGIENE STANDARD "VDI 6032".
During a regular car servicing normally only the filter is being changed. The cooling coil and filter box remain untouched!
The main problem zone of a car AIRCON is not the filter, but the cooling coil and the filter box. Both need to be cleaned with appropriate methods and products to prevent harm.
Many do only offer click sprays, perfumes, foams or fogging solutions which are mostly not tackling the problem source directly / not providing a sufficient cleaning result. Additionally most of these chemicals are not certified to the highest health standards.

Recently became father
"This gives me the piece of mind, that my baby is breathing clean air now"
Singapore Expat
"I'm very surprised. It goes inside to the cooling coil and therefore kills all the bacteria. Whereby other products just give you a nice smell, but don't kill bacteria"
Has a deep technical knowledge
"Been looking for a practical solution to nip the foul smell problem at the butt (aircon coil). Goodbye foul smell (and car deodorizers), hello fresh air!"

Because:
- AC cleaning at home is mandatory. In the car it's not. But it's also an AC, even more polluted than the one at home.
- The regular FILTER CHANGE is not AC cleaning. The filter normally filter only bigger particles like leaves from the street.
- The real "problem zones" (after the air went through the filter) where bacteria, mould, fungi etc. grow are the COOLING COIL and the FILTER BOX. Both normally remain untouched in a regular car servicing. In combination with moisture, dirt and humidity, the narrow spaces between the cooling fins provide an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, mould, germs and other micro organisms. As a result, depending on the weather and use of the CAR AC, the health of drivers and passengers inside the car can be affected within a very short time.
- If the cooling fins are blocked, the cooling function of the AC can be reduced.
- If the cooling coil is completely blocked, no cleaning is possible anymore - then the workshop needs to replace it and this can be very expensive.
If bad smell comes from the ventilation, it’s too late. Smell alone is no indication for the degree of air conditioning system contamination or load. Air conditioning systems that don’t smell can also be very contaminated.
Many providers in the market promise to clean the CAR AC and charge extremely varying prices for this. The only method that has been proven to work in the long term is airco well®, which is a combination of flushing the cooling coil and cleaning the pollen filter box. We recommend to clean the CAR AC with airco well® 1-2x per year depending on the usage. If you have a new car, the regular yearly cleaning should be started no later then after 12 months.
Many workshops promise, that click sprays, foams, fogging, perfumes etc. would clean the CAR AC. Thorough testing of the methods clearly shows that airco well® is the only method which really cleans the CAR AC comprehensively. It was also the most certified and tested product, as well as also cleans the filter box with a special agent (not only the cooling coil).
airco well® can be used on all brands / models of passenger cars. For vans, busses, commercial vehicles etc. please contact us at contact@airconchamp.com and we see, how we can help you with our special technical team.
No, in most cases a regular "Aircon service" involves no more than a functional maintenance (topping us gas for the cooling function etc.). The hygienic cleaning of the CAR AC has to be ordered separately -> You find our official partner workshops in this website.
This is the best, least time-consuming solution. Since many garages do not automatically carry out the service, it is advisable to add cleaning with airco well® to the servicing order.
The manufacturer underwent extensive testing regarding the method and product ingredients. It is the only CAR AC CLEANING following the highest international quality standard of the Guideline of the German Association of Engineers "VDI - 6032". Some of the major requirements from this guideline are "Such substances and methods shall be used as do not involve health hazards for vehicle occupants and as do not cause surface changes". The tests and certifications were conducted jointly by the German gui - lab testing laboratory and VDI certified specialist engineers.
The result is fresh and clean air coming from the CAR AC. airco well® hygienic cleaning does not use disinfectant and contains no fragrances that can trigger allergies.
You can find our authorized workshops on our website in the drop down menu above the "BUY NOW"" button.
Cleaning your air conditioning system is practical at any time of year, as micro-organisms colonise the system throughout the year.
Effective cleaning with the airco well® method requires a certain amount of technical knowledge about air conditioning systems and can be done only with special tools; because of this, it is advised to find book an CAR AC cleaning with one of our authorized workshops.
