As you are aware, an air conditioner's capacity to efficiently cool the environment can be diminished over time by the accumulation of dust, dirt, and other particles on the coils. To ensure optimal performance, you can follow the steps that NoBroker AC Technician suggested to me:

• Unplug the AC unit from the power source. 

• You can get the coils by taking off the front panel or by going through the AC unit's side. 

• Now, remove the dust and loose dirt with a soft brush. 

• Select the coil cleaner that is made especially for indoor air conditioning coils. Pay close attention to the instructions on the cleaner. 

• Put on safety goggles and gloves to keep your hands and eyes away from the cleaning solution. 

• Now apply the cleaning solution to the indoor side of the AC coil.

• Leave it there for the mentioned period on the cleaner's instruction. 

• Now clean the inner side of AC coil with plain water. 

• Finally, before putting the AC unit back and turning it on, let the coils dry completely.
