I use Dawn dish soap, vinegar, a little bleach in a garden pressure washer to wash my four minisplits. Rinse after washing using bottled water. IMPORTANT the drain tank will get clogged and not drain out side at the condensation outlet. Use a wet/dry vacuum and allow it to vacuum the outside drain as you are washing and rinsing the unit. This is separate from the drainage of the plastic catch all he hung and attached to the front of the unit. If you are getting condensation blowing into the room as your unit it cooling , the first thing you should due is to vacuum that outlet outside. A lot of what you just washed will want to drain outside through its internal system. MAKE SURE to vacuum that line every season.
