How to Sanitize Auto Air Conditioners
Air conditioning in car is a luxury that we all enjoy, but very few people look after the air conditioning unit of their vehicle.
With the passage of time the flow of air through the air conditioning unit causes dust to settle down permanently in the vents. Bacteria and fungi also make their way into the system and this leads to the circulation of bad air in the vehicle. Unhygienic air conditioning system causes cough and other diseases if the air conditioning mechanism is not cleaned up regularly.
There are many ways to clean up the air conditioning unit; the easiest one is the use of sanitizer which is available in aerosol cans.

Close all doors and mirrors and fire up the engine. Turn on the air conditioning unit and make sure it is set to internal circulation. In this mode the connection between the car and outdoor environment is cut off and the air circulates within the car over and over again. Also ensure that all vents of the air conditioning unit are open.
