My air con is starting to smell like something had died in it.

How do you use this stuff? Just spray it in the vents or something? Are there a/c filters you canjust replace or something?


You just spray it into the inlet with the a/c going, then just turn it off for 20 mins and the smell is gone

Well it depends of if its A/C smell of perhaps Fumigation (spelling)

If your car was fumigated then sorry all the cleaning in the world will not get rid of that nasty smell. I know this from experience as one of the car yards bought pretty much every smelly on the market to try get rid of the smell from the rooflining.

If its a damp yuck smell from the A/C then any brand of A/C disenfectant will work. I have used the Wurth stuff and had good results.

If the car is new or euro there is a chance that there are pollen filters in there that you will have to take out to effectively clean the A/C.
