Totaline® environmentally sound coil cleaner is non-flam-
mable, hypoallergenic, nonbacterial, and a USDA accepted
biodegradable agent that will not harm the coil or surrounding
components such as electrical wiring, painted metal surfaces,
or insulation. Use of non-recommended coil cleaners is strong-
ly discouraged since coil and unit durability could be affected.
Totaline Environmentally Sound Coil Cleaner Application
Equipment
• 2 1 / gallon garden sprayer
2
• Water rinse with low velocity spray nozzle
Harsh chemicals, household bleach or acid or basic clean-
ers should not be used to clean outdoor or indoor coils of
any kind. These cleaners can be very difficult to rinse out
of the coil and can accelerate corrosion at the fin/tube inter-
face where dissimilar materials are in contact. If there is
dirt below the surface of the coil, use the Totaline environ-
mentally sound coil cleaner as described above.

High velocity water from a pressure washer, garden hose,
or compressed air should never be used to clean a coil. The
force of the water or air jet will bend the fin edges and
increase airside pressure drop. Reduced unit performance
or nuisance unit shutdown may occur.
Totaline Environmentally Sound Coil Cleaner Application
Instructions
1. Proper eye protection such as safety glasses is recom-
mended during mixing and application.
2. Remove all surface loaded fibers and dirt with a vacuum
cleaner as described above.
3. Thoroughly wet finned surfaces with clean water and a
low velocity garden hose, being careful not to bend fins.
4. Mix Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner in a
2 / gallon garden sprayer according to the instructions
1

included with the cleaner. The optimum solution temper-
ature is 100 F.
NOTE: Do NOT USE water in excess of 130 F, as the enzy-
matic activity will be destroyed.
5. Thoroughly apply Totaline environmentally sound coil
cleaner solution to all coil surfaces including finned area,
tube sheets and coil headers.
6. Hold garden sprayer nozzle close to finned areas and
apply cleaner with a vertical, up-and-down motion. Avoid
spraying in horizontal pattern to minimize potential for
fin damage.
7. Ensure cleaner thoroughly penetrates deep into finned
areas.
8. Interior and exterior finned areas must be thoroughly
cleaned.
9. Finned surfaces should remain wet with cleaning solution
for 10 minutes.
10. Ensure surfaces are not allowed to dry before rinsing.
Reapplying cleaner as needed to ensure 10-minute satura-
tion is achieved.
11. Thoroughly rinse all surfaces with low velocity clean wa-
ter using downward rinsing motion of water spray nozzle.
Protect fins from damage from the spray nozzle.
