Our AC Unit Was Covered In Mold:

Nick September 16, 2019

Once both of us had all of the components cleaned as well as sanitized, my wife began to piece it back together.

My wife and I have window air conditioning units in our home, because our Summers don’t require constant air conditioning. The only time both of us actually use the AC is in the evenings or when it’s severely humid. Even with the dehumidifier, both of us have a strenuous time keeping the humidity levels low. A couple weeks ago, my wife decided it was time to wash our AC units. There is one in the main living section as well as one in our bedroom. She took the unit in our living room as well as headed outside with it. I heard her cursing as she took the back off our AC unit. I walked over to the back door and she turned around as well as told me that she wasn’t having fun. What I saw made me a little nauseous. The entire Ac machine was consumed with mold. There were bits and pieces of leaves in the mess as well as a lot of dust. My wife put on rubber gloves as well as began to submerse the casing into a solution of clorox as well as water. She was scrubbing the mold as well as dirt off the entire AC casing. Every few hours she’d dump the water for a fresh batch. In the meantime, I was wiping off the fan blades to get the excess mold as well as dirt off them. Once both of us had all of the components cleaned as well as sanitized, my wife began to piece it back together. She had the entire AC machine together, but it wouldn’t run. I came into the house as well as picked up what appeared to be a piece of cardboard as well as asked her if it was pressing. All I heard was, ‘Oh Man!’ as she began taking the screws back out.
