Air condition smell
I know this is quite a common topic, but lately the sour smell from the AC is getting quite unbearable. I've read somewhere its due to the mold/mildew in the condenser and I could get rid of it by spraying a mildew killer into the A/C intake areas while running the A/C at full blast. Question, can someone point me to this area? Has anyone done this and what killer did you use? Thanks!
