Default Cleaning Air Conditioner

Instead of just throwing in another air freshener, this time i'm wanting to go a step further and try and clean the system. You can see dust build up inside the vents and i'm sure cleaning is needed by now. Have any of yall done this? I searched and didn't find anything really. I am hoping if i can clean it, turning on the ac this summer will send some fresh, clean smelling, cold air instead of what it is not. Its not bad and doesn't smell bad or anything, but its defiantly not pure clean air coming through anymore like you get when you drive a new car.

Well, after looking into it I guess the only thing to do is remove the vents and hoses and clean them and then replace the accumulator. Not worth it IMO.. Anyone done this? The accumulator is like 70 bucks and the vents and such will be a pita to pull i feel.
