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?




will it fit in your auto dishwasher? that will degrease it nicely.



Hi...

That's what the manufacturer suggested for mine; but I found the
idea to be at best a bit unappetizing...


Your choice, but you breathe whatever crud is on it.


Probably the dust contains quite a bit of polonium etc. like the dust that
sticks to TV screens. If you wipe down a recently used TV and try it with a
geiger counter, it's quite interesting. I think it comes from the decay
products of radon. If the dust is left for a few days then it is no longer
noticeably radioactive.
