Cleaning

[mirfgtech]

I have the luxury of having two Tecumseh Condensing Units [< 1/2 HP] in my shop. They both suffer from an extensive case of "kitchen grease" contamination. I do realize, that they can be power washed, and if I am lucky enough to find a steam cleaner, and there is always the "elbow grease" method of using a cleaner such as Cal-Clean HD.

Does anyone have another alternative cleaning method that is really good....???

Not sure of its effect on aluminum but mean green degreaser does a great job on grease.

And steam will help might be just the way to find a leak the you have never noticed before.

Yep...on aluminum you can't beat it.

Viper coil cleaner , and a garden hose... A pressure washer would work great if you can get it out side..

I like calclean hd. May want to use it full strength. It is a good detergent.

Viper is good stuff.

Haven't seen the one called Renewz in a while, but that was an awesome cleaner, too. Of course, it would remove fingerprints if you got it on your hands, so maybe it was a little corrosive.

You should dilute Calclean, and most concentrated detergent cleaners, at least some with water. They actually work better this way.

triple d mixed with really hot water. The grease drips right off.

[zartangreen]

Been there, I use what ever the restaurant uses to clean the greasy pans.

[ckartson]

You are right about dilution, I meant to say but didn't that on some very greasy dried on stuff I have used it full strength and let it sit then flush a lot. This is a rare occasion. It is also kind off expensive to use wrong. I stand corrected.

We had a really nasty kitchen, fryer was 6' from refrigeration units, everything was wet with grease. I used one of the spray can condenser cleaners and nearly shutdown the kitchen, the stuff removed the oil but left a hard film on the coils. They had Dawn soap in the kitchen, so I tried it and it got the coils clean and it left a residue that would not allow the grease to adhere to the very old steel coils. No offensive odor or food contamination.
