Air conditioning is probably the most interesting options on newer cars. Despite the fact it was previously available to high-end models, it has now been democratized for the great majority of cars. However, this costly and complex mechanism requires special attention, and whether it’s for service or because of odours, it is completely necessary to think about cleaning the air conditioning of your Kia Niro. This is specifically what we will teach you in detail in this document. First we will look in detail at the process to clean the air conditioning of your Kia Niro, then in a second step, we will look more generally at the service of the air conditioning of your Kia Niro.
How to clean my Kia Niro air conditioning
Let’s commence our document with the cleaning of the air conditioning circuit of your Kia Niro. The only way to perform a complete cleaning of this circuit will be to use bactericidal and fungicidal products, actually, your air conditioning creates loads of moisture that will stay in the circuit and will promote the expansion of germs and bacteria of all sorts. You will find these products on the internet or in car centres. There are two procedures to do this, here they are
Service the air conditioning system of your Kia Niro in the simple way
Once you have a disinfectant spray, you can instantly clean your car’s air-conditioning system.
The methodology is very easy, even so, this procedure can dirty the inside of your Kia Niro.
- Remove the cabin filter.
- Install the disinfectant spray on the floor of your car (preferably on the passenger side).
- Turn on your car’s ventilation and air conditioning (with the engine is on) with air recycling
- With the windows closed, press the button on the bomb to empty it slowly but surely and close the vehicle doors and leave it on for about ten minutes.
- Once this time has passed, open the doors of your Kia Niro, ventilation still on and let the passenger compartment air out for about 20 minutes.
This technique will allow you to fairly quickly clean the air-conditioning system of your Kia Niro, but if you have bad air-conditioning odours on your Kia Niro that are persistent, we encourage you to exercise the second process.

Now let’s go forward to the more radical tactic of performing a cleaning of your ventilation system in depth. You will have to buy the same bactericidal and fungicidal product, it is only the application that will be distinct. Here is the process to follow:
- Remove your cabin filter.
- By the external air intake of your Kia Niro (between the bonnet and the windscreen), with the engine on and the ventilation on, spray a couple of times for 5 seconds and leave all windows and doors closed for A little bit.
- Once this first stage is performed you will be able to tackle the inside part of your air conditioning system, doing the same but not the inside air intake which is usually found under the glove box.
- Finally, to conclude, you can spray a few sprays into the vents of your Kia Niro.
- All you have to do is air out your car while the product dissipates before you can use it again.
