Default Hvac question, do I clean the evaporator if I have access to it?

The coils are supplied by a couple copper tubes which contain high pressure
freon. be real gentle with these, if they snap, you lose all the freon, and
have to pay to have it hooked back up and recharged.

As you can tell from the question, I am not an HVAC person, but I recently
discovered a rather significant cold air loss in my attic due to a shoddy
job of evaporator replacement a few years ago. No telling how much money I
have thrown down the drain cooling my attic!

Anyway, I'm up there doing some cleanup and a little sheet metal work to
seal this beast off again, and I wonder if I should do anything to clean the
evaporator while I am in there? right now, I can't tell how dirty it is if
any because it was kind of frosty, but I have turned the unit off and will
go check shortly.

If I do clean it, what should I use? Personally I'm guessing that I should
leave it alone, but want to hear from experts. And I know I should hire a
professional to do this, but I'm not completely inept, however I am
completely broke.
