I have a electro-static air cleaner.
This electrical system init is inside the air-condition/heater air
duct.
This system has a removable electro-static charged plates in the
air flow.

In time, these plates are coated with dirt.
I can wipe it off using a Q-tip.
But these fins are too narrow gaps to wash.
I tried Windex and did not do much.
Is there a good way to wash off these dust & dirt?




I run them through the dishwasher, no need to use detergent but just
a tiny bit helps.


You would want to use a detergent that is "safe" with aluminum.

Or you can just hose it off, or soak it in dish soap and then hose it
off. Watch out for the pressure washer - you could easily bend the
precipitor plates.
