In this video tutorial, you will see how to clean and sanitize the air conditioning system on a Renault Clio. You may have turned on the air conditioning after the car has been stationary for several days and noticed a bad smell coming from the air vents. At this point, it is very important to clean and sanitize the air conditioning system. The materials needed are: a sanitizing cleaner spray for air conditioning that will be sprayed inside all the vents of the cabin and a disinfectant spray (germicidal and disinfectant) that will be sprayed on the cabin pollen filter. The first step is to remove the cabin filter located on the passenger side in the footwell. Once the filter is removed, clean it with a compressor and spray the sanitizer on it.
