nextzett Klima Cleaner Pro – Automotive AC Odor Eliminator & Evaporator Cleaner – Freshens & Cleans Air Conditioning System – 10 fl oz

So, the can comes with a spray tube and a replacement cap. Pro tip: rip off the original cap like you're starting a lawn mower. Don’t worry, nothing breaks. Snap on the new one, and boom—perfect fit for the spray tube. Now shake that can like it’s 1999. Seriously. If you don’t, you’ll just get sad sauce instead of foam. But when it does foam—whoa. This thing throws more fluff than a barista with a vengeance. Way foamier than the other brands I saw on YouTube. I used it to clean out the AC system in my car. My coil looked pretty clean already, but I had this charming “damp gym sock” smell when I turned the AC on after humid days. Turns out the smell wasn’t from the coil—it was from stale water hiding out in the drain. Gross. Foam went in, weird water came out. Problem solved. Also, Tesla fun fact: the fan runs after you park to dry the system out. Anyway, it’s been a month. Still no smell. Still a happy camper.

I bought both the nextzett Klima-Cleaner and the Lubegard Kool-It. The spray nozzles nozzles are actually interchangeable. The Kool-it just has a straight nozzle, whereas the Klima-Cleaner has a tri-pattern nozzle that spreads its out. I would say the spread nozzle would work if you went through the drain tube, but I preferred the straight nozzle for going through the blower fan area. You could just cut the spread nozzle, and crimp it a bit for the same results. For sure, the Klima is a better value. It says 6 oz vs 10 oz, but that is clearly not true. The Kool-it shot for like 6 seconds and the can was empty. The Klima just kept going and going. I must have filled the evaporator chamber like 4-5 times. One caveat, make sure the spray tube is ALL THE WAY inserted into the white cap. ALL THE WAY. Otherwise, it has the habit of blowing off randomly. After using both and draining, I ran the fan with the windows open for a few minutes, then the AC. It was blowing clean, cold air. No more faint mildew smells. The rest of this is vehicle specific. Kia Sportage 2018. 1. Open the glove compartment. There is a clip on the outside, right side. Squeeze the clip and slid off. There are 2 knobs inside, left and right. Rotate CCW and remove. The glove compartment should drop. 2. There are still two pins holding the glove compartment. Squeeze the end of the pin to free and pull out. You will need to support the glove compartment to make it easier to pull the pin. 3. The cabin air filter has a cover. Squeeze the clip on the left side and slide out. Remove the cabin air filter. 4. There is an undercover for the blower fan. Two recessed clips near the front you can carefully feel. Pull them toward you and you can pry down the cover. Requires a bit of strong fingers for these clips. After you free the front of the cover, there are two foam covered tabs in the back you can wiggle out. 5. You can remove the blower fan with 3 philips screws. The fan plug will require pliers to squeeze the tab for removal as it is very tight. 6. The blower fan was blocked by a plastic housing in the front. I removed a screw in the front, and the housing loosened enough to free the blower. 7. I taped an endoscope to the spray tube, placed down a flashlight inside the blower housing facing left, and with a laptop, I was able to see inside clearly. If I was to redo, I would 3D print a holder to make the tube+endoscope more rigid so I could see deeper in and easier. Possibly also make it a right angle spray to hit the coils directly. I was able to liberally coat everything I could see, and thoroughly fill that compartment. Then wait for the foam to liquidize and repeat. I did not worry about the blower resistor as from what I can see with the endoscope, it was well protected with its position.

Now I will say, after fully looking into how to clean the a/c from germs, dust, and smell. I discovered was to go the direct route of the evaporator box or should I say, pass by the blower motor fan. I took it off and sprayed in there and left it a bit cleaner than how it looked in the start from the little footage I recorded during the evaporator cleaning process. I would say, the other route is in the bottom of the car underneath where the water comes out in the drain plug, but thinking other way is better to fully clean as that’s where the air and dust is closer to you in the vent system. The drain plug route may help clean as well, in how I might clean it too after I buy another evaporator foam cleaner but that’s to possibly help take off the gunk dirt or dust that may give a little stench from over the years in the car’s ac usage that formed from the condensation and evaporator of the water or humidity that forms. Then again might not matter as much in how the liquid water is meant to drain from that plug out of the car system. Now from what I’ll say of the usage on the foam cleaner on my Scion tC 2007 ac evaporator system is that it does have a scent of a citrus typical smell of a cleaner in general. Did not smell bad but wouldn’t recommend smelling it for more than a few minutes when spraying the foam. Also after the days the smell was still there which I liked, but some people may not which maybe best to get an air freshener but as days went on the smell became less stronger and only mild. For the couple of weeks after it still smelled in the cabin of the car, if you focused on it but it was pretty much was almost gone in smell. What is really noticeable is the cold ac is more clean or should I say, not noticeable which is GOOD/GREAT, as before typically the ac air is rougher and thicker when coming out. Now I noticed the air to be clearer and thinner; which is showing it did it’s job. In how I might have noticed it does get colder faster when turning on the ac, taking about a minute or few less than before, as before take a couple of minutes to get the cold air from the ac system. I heard it makes it possible even colder in the air coming out, which it might have not sure, as the summer California heat makes it difficult to notice the difference in that. I will say, wish it had more foam spray to clean it better and stronger or to have another run as it may need it and be better way to fully clean the air system. Suggested as basic common sense to clean the ac system with a foam cleaner every 6 months to a year or every air filter change basically, from what I read in what others say. I cleaned it in my 123k mil Scion tC 2007 doubt any previous owner cleaned it. So only reason I give it a 4 stars out of 5. The price is pretty heavy for only a 10 ounce can, others sell it for less or around same price but more foam ounces in can. The ingredients are pretty much the same thing with slightly different difference. Some do say, specifically they can be used on a car, which I prefer to buy those to be safe, the others could be used too possibly as well, as all ac evaporators in a car and house are pretty much the same. So does work in cleaning the car’s evaporator, I think, just the value for money is kind of bad.

This product works! It took only once and it worked on my GMC Terrain. I had a musty smell when the AC was on but this resolved the issue. I do wish the included straw was about 12" longer... It took me two tries because I didn't realize the bottle needed to be kept upright to expel the cleaner properly. Once I repositioned the can so it was upright and pressed the button I was able to get it all out, but I think it would have done better if I did that the first time.

Smells great and easy to work with.

Great product and the foam will keep your ac system smelling very nice and clean. And of course cold

This product is easy to use and it does what it says on the tin. Gets rid of nasty smelly air con smells.

I've used the Comma aircon cleaner for a few years, which is essentially an aerosol dispenser that circulates a mist throughout the car's interior and air vents. Whilst it was ok in curing smells for a few months, it never eradicated the musty burst when the aircon was first switched on. Those of you with a 2004-2007 Mercedes C-class will perhaps know what I mean. This Einszett product is something quite different though. A long tube is fed down the central dashboard airvent and the can's foam contents are then dispensed closer to the aircon evaporator (where the bugs generally form that cause the smells). You allow it to foam up and drain out underneath the car for about 30 mins, before firing up the aircon to dry the system out. Note that even though the tube is long, the foam does expand its way back up to the air vents, so best to have some kitchen towel handy to mop up any small drips on the dashboard. The great thing is there is no strong fragance to attack your nostrils in the days after a treatment. Plus, there's no musty smells at all. Will use this product again as a preventative treatment. Easy 5 star.

The liquid inside is very dense and has a surprising amount giving the small bottle size
