Im open to correction on this.
the OP shouldn't have any problem cleaning the condenser nerve. theres cleaners designed to do just that.. foam up and dislodge dirt and debris...and you just simply wash it off.
OP you don't necessarily need the brand name foam cleaners.... if its the car condenser simple breeze and purple blaster solution will do wonders..
dissolve breeze in purple blaster spray liberally into condenser - let it soak in....spray some more till it properly soaked thru and through.... from the reverse side - ie engine side wash it out forcing the dirt and debris out the front of the condenser. you can use a pressure washer to do this step.
that's how I cleaned mine.
for home use you can use the foam cleaner as that's easier to work with and theres not much stuff to clean off - a good pressure washing also works
