How do you clean a car’s AC evaporator without removing it?
I know I need to clean the air conditioning evaporator in my car, but I really don’t want to remove it. Is there any way to get it done without disassembling everything?

Cleaning an evaporator coil can be a headache if you have to remove it. Luckily, with these simple steps, you can skip the hassle.
To clean a car’s AC evaporator without removing it, you will need:
- A towel or hairdryer
- A screwdriver
- A spray bottle
- Evaporator coil cleaner (available at most auto part stores)
Here’s what to do:
- Remove your car’s glove box.
- Access the AC evaporator coil through the glove box space.
- Apply cleaner to the evaporator, then rinse.
- Dry the evaporator with a towel or hairdryer.
- Replace the glove box.
If you’d rather skip the DIY activities, a professional could take care of the job for you. But it will set you back somewhere between $100 to $400.
You can make room in your budget for professional car maintenance by saving money on other car expenses—like insurance.
