Before starting the cleaning process, be sure to turn off the power to the air conditioner unit. This is important for your safety and will help prevent any damage to the unit.
Step 1: Turn off the power
Most air conditioners have filters that can be easily removed. You'll need to take them out to clean them properly. Refer to your owner's manual for instructions on how to remove them from your specific model. Once you've removed the filters, clean them with warm water and mild soap or a specialized cleaner. Rinse them thoroughly and let them dry completely before reinserting them.
Step 2: Remove and clean the filters
