don't pay some jack-leg $72!!!!!!

go to your local Johnstone Supply (in the white pages)

ask for a gallon of purple Alki-Foam (the #1 selling foaming lye-based
coil cleaner in the world) about $8 or so

put in plastic squirt bottle (1:1 ratio, i.e. 1/2 water, 1/2 purple stuff)
always add purple stuff to water, not vice-versa

set breaker near unit to OFF position

while wearing gloves & goggles for safety, spray liberally into coil all
over, take it slow & thorough
this is bad stuff, don't get in skin or eyes (it is essentially oven
cleaner)


If it is just oven cleaner, then it would be easier and cheaper to go to
Wal-Mart and get some Easy-Off Oven Cleaner. It foams up nicely, and one
can should be just the right amount to clean a coil.





wait 5 minutes, it will foam up during this time

spray off thoroughly with garden hose with sprayer attachment

turn breaker back on

enjoy lower utility bill!
