If you’re not regularly cleaning your air conditioner, then you are probably wasting your money. Cleaning your air conditioner is vital for the longevity of the machine, which is why you should keep it on a regular chore rotation. However, we understand having to clean all of those grids can be quite time-consuming. But don’t worry, we found a very simple solution for a spotless air conditioner every clean.

Spray the grimy spots on your filter with the bottle, then use a toothbrush to scrub off the grime. After trying this myself, I can attest to the nifty genius of this trick. Seriously, an old toothbrush really can go a long way when it comes to cleaning those grimy, dirty, hard to clean spots in your home.
