Before the summer gets going I want to make sure that my air conditioner won't smell when I turn it on. I was thinking of purchasing Klima Cleaner. I was wondering if anyone had experience with it or if there is a recommendation out there for a better product. If anyone has used it I would like to know, does it work? Is it worth it? Was it easy to use?

 

I've never used it, but I can give you some advice to keep mold out of your system once you get it clean. I got that bad smell once in a past Honda, a tech gave me some advice and I've never had it again in any vehicle in 20 years.

When approaching your destination with the A/C running, turn off the a/c button and just leave the fan running for the last few minutes of your trip (2-5 mins ?). That helps to blow out the moisture in the system and dries out the core/coil. If you shut down the car with moisture in the system it will attract mold, particularly when letting it sit all night long at the end of the day. It isn't a problem if you are doing short trips throughout the day, the problem is worse when you have it running for a while and then you shut down the car for long periods of time.

 

That is awesome advice going right into the summer this will be very useful.

 

niceeee. ill be using that advice too. glad i saw this thread. something so simple i never thought about.

 

after you click the a/c button off you can also increase the fan speed to blow out more moisture from the system.

 

Hooray me!
