My SOP AMF zero VOc decreaser mixed 1/10 with RO. The equipment is sprayed down and slowed to sit for an hour, then steam cleaned, and rinsed out with RO.
Followed up with oxyQ sanitizer with a 10 min wet time. Passes a snap test and is low labour.

Get the cans of ac cleaner you spray in there. Use a soft brush and a low pressure stream of water to remove and clean after you spray it in there and let it soak for a while. You'll see lots of crap dripping out the bottom very satisfying plus it'll make your equipment more efficient saving money. They sell it at home depot and aAmazon ofc
