I noticed since it's been colder I've been running my defrost more often and forgetting that it triggers the AC and adds moisture to the HVAC system. I had a bad smell for days and decided to kill it before it kills me!!!

This is how to manage the bad smell. When you're about five minutes away from your destination turn the heater on and set the fan speed on high. This will dry out any condensation in your air vents. That condensation buildup is what's causing the smell

@earthdaddy 3 жыл бұрын

Nice truck! This would definitely work however I would do it before a car wash because leaving any of those chemicals on the exterior surfaces especially in the sun could fade, crack, damage plastic and painted surfaces. Also I'd hit recirculate and spray some under the dash where it pulls inside air.

@kimzengly 3 жыл бұрын

This is just a temporary fix, after a couple days the smell will return. The only way to get rid of this smell is to probably clean the vent and air ducts like how you have your home vents and air duct professionally vacuum and brush.. Also you can disassemble the air ducts and vents passage.. But disassembling some parts of the air duct will help decrease the smell by a small percentage only. But disassembling any vehicles ducts or vents is very cumbersome and tedious labor intensive. WORK. but to each his own.. good luck.

Sometimes Lysol can leave an overwhelming smell when you spray too much and it looked like you used a lot. How has it been after a couple of days? Did the bad smell go away and can you still smell the Lysol?

@RobDaman 5 жыл бұрын

Great question. It's not bad. I asked Jesse and it didn't bother him either. Leaving the windows down when applying the spray I think helped a lot. It was really strong at the first application. It's much less stronger than those old school pine tree mirror air fresheners too.

Change your cabin air filter. Spray the new one with lysol and or you favorite smell good. I used the oil from a wall plug in...just open the top and drip some of the oil on both sides of filter. All my friend do it. Cars smell great and it last a long time....and you dont hv to deal with air freshener trees or those lil things youd clip to your vents. Do the lysol through the vents from outside again...but you hv to use at least half the can to kill bacteria...do this and the filter hack and youll be good to go..

Taurus The Barber Little tip. Next time, try not to put oil scents on filter, oil will block air flow, but if it works okay for you, then it’s fine. Oil will make filter not last as long though

@@gericomatabang1117 yes. Works!. It came back tho. So here's how to prevent it in the first place. The trick is to not let humidity build up in the vent, which creates mildew. So what I do is, every time I run cold AC during a warm day, I either run regular temp (non circulated) AC on for a few mins before I arrive at my destination or once I park, I roll down the windows slightly (of course in safe areas or your own parking lot) to avoid humidity from building up. Hope it helps.
