Mine is going on 10 years old. I go up 2x a year with a hose, a bucket some Spic and Span and a long handled "Van Wash" brush and a broom (Optional the brusk will do double duty). Sweep any loose debris off, then pour some cleaner in the bucket, fill half full with water from hose, Starting as far from ladder as possible dip brush in bucket and brush away any not so loose stuff.. I work a good size section and then hose it down to rinse.. Then back toward the ladder and keep on brushing and hosing,, Eventually I refresh the bucket (Dump it out add fresh water and cleaner) and continue brushing and spraying.
Finally finishing from a position on the ladder.
ALSO, before you do this remove the covers (both outer and at least the condenser INNER) from the air conditioners,, In the past I have used the hose and flushed them.. But last time I used compressed air,, worked rather well.
Clean anything cleanable, if there are lub ports (Very unlikely) lube, replace covers and then mop.
