2. Description of the Related Art An indoor device of an air conditioner is provided with an air filter for preventing dust such as dust and dirt from being taken directly into the inside of the device. However, mold spores and bacteria cannot be removed by the air filter, and penetrate the inside through them.

[0003] The invading mold spores and bacteria grow and propagate inside, and are blown out from the air outlet by the operation of the device and released into the room. Such a state is not preferable because microorganisms such as mold and bacteria may adversely affect health. In particular, molds cause unpleasant unpleasant odor peculiar to air conditioners, so-called “air conditioner odor”. Therefore, the indoor unit of the air conditioner is required to periodically sterilize microorganisms that have propagated inside.

FIG. 3 is a schematic explanatory view showing a conventional cleaning operation of an indoor unit. In this cleaning operation, a cleaning device 8 is used. The cleaning device 8 includes a chemical solution container 80 and a liquid sending pump 81. An injection nozzle 83 is connected to the liquid sending pump 81 via a hose 82.
