How can I get my air conditioner to stop smelling like dirty feet?

Filed Under HVAC 

lilmizzaniml asked:


The air blowing out of my air conditioner, even when it is only on fan, smells like dirty feet. The filter is clean. What can I do to clean it and get rid of the smell?

      Clean it all out with alcohol or vinegar. Both will kill anything that may be living in there making your air smell like, feet.

      you could try air fresheners like the ones in cars and put that in front of your ac but you maybe causing it with sweaty feet so if you are to some charcoll pads you can find these at any shoe store..
