As we head into the warmer months, in-car air conditioning is being switched back on, with many motorists greeted by a terrible smell after not using it for a few months.

The reason behind this, Helen says, is quite simple.

Stagnant water droplets trapped in your dormant system are blasted out, leaving behind a foul odour and some nasty bacteria.

While this is a common driver complaint, not every garage is taking the opportunity to upsell and provide a thorough cleaning and disinfection service.

According to Helen Robinson, there are three essential steps using products from Normfest that have been specifically designed and formulated to help.

Bomb the bacteria

The first step is to ‘bomb’ the system with Viro Dry Shot Plus, a powerful anti-bacterial cleaning agent. Using the product is simple – spray it directly into the air intake nozzles that are usually located in the passenger footwell.

The spray then disperses throughout the air conditioning system for a thorough, quick and hygienic clean.

Viro One Shot Plus eliminates microorganisms, prevents allergic reactions and leaves a lasting pleasant smell. A single can is enough for one application.

Freshen up

Viro Air Fresh Plus is sprayed directly into the air vents and gets to work on the air conditioner’s piping.

Over time, a layer of dirt collects in the ventilation ducts and becomes a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and mould.

Viro Air Fresh Plus eliminates these odour-causing particles with direct application, enabled by the included tube nozzle.

It provides a long-lasting disinfection and leaves a pleasant citrus fragrance. One can contains enough spray for three applications.

Evaporator

For a complete clean, it is recommended that garages also use Viro Vaporizer to disinfect the air conditioner’s evaporator.

A layer of dirt can accumulate on the evaporator fins over time, which provides ideal conditions for microorganisms to reproduce.

The product cleans with high-pressure flushing, acting across the evaporator’s entire surface.

It quickly kills bacteria and fungi and prevents their resettlement.

The product is supplied with a 60-centimetre long tube with a rotary nozzle, helping the user to reach all corners of the evaporator.

Viro Vaporizer contains enough spray for one air conditioning system.

This final step completes the process, providing comprehensive protection against bacteria and bad odours.

“Disinfecting a vehicle’s air conditioning is not just about removing bad smells,” explains Robinson.

“It is important to periodically remove the build-up of bacteria, dirt and dust within the system to avoid discomfort, allergies and health complications.

“This simple three-step process could be combined with a re-gas and a new cabin filter for a complete system rejuvenation.

“It presents a great opportunity for garages to upsell and provides a service that directly benefits customers – solving a common driver complaint.”
