Air conditioning is a godsend when temperatures soar, but a number of studies by scientists and consumer groups point to a raft of potential health problems caused by our favourite 'must-have' accessory.

Sick Car Syndrome (SCS) is the name given to the increasing problem of mould and bacteria growth in vehicle air conditioning systems. Studies show that the dark, moist environment around the evaporator creates an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and fungal spores. As air passes over the evaporator these microbes become airborne and enter the passenger compartment through the dash vents.

Mouldy odours are often the first sign of trouble, but motorists can grow accustomed to the very gradual onset of the smell and not realise the vehicle is contaminated until the problem is pointed out to them. By this time SCS could be apparent, with drivers experiencing hay fever type symptoms, eye irritation and bronchial infections.

Too often, quick cures are little more than perfumes that mask the true extent of the problem. Here at Hitech we have a developed and new cleaning concept which;

Removes pollen and nicotine from the evaporator Disinfects and eliminates microbes, fungi and bacteria Removes cause of allergic reactions Gets rid of unpleasant smells Can be rapidly carried out (only 15 Minutes)

The result is a completely cleaned evaporator with clean and fresh air without bacteria, allergies and dust.
