| Aeolus451 said: "Google "dirty socks syndrome". This is a condition that occurs on evaporator coils. Its basically a bacterial growth that smells like "dirty socks", some describe it as fishy. It is difficult to get rid of but with the proper cleaners and the proper cleaning method you can rid yourself of this smell. Not only is it annoying, it can be harmful to your health if left untreated. Coming from experience, get a hvac contractor to clean the coil. Make sure the contractor you hire is familiar with DSS. I know it sounds funny but we have been dealing with this smell for as long as there has been air conditioning. Hope this helps!" You could just buy some AC coil cleaner from walmart and just spray it yourself. Just follow the instructions on the bottle and should go away. |
I'm not sure if the smell is gone or not. My roommate cooked something with onions for dinner apparently (before i got home, he works evenings at a restaurant), so the downstairs smells like that. Upstairs i can't quite tell.
Gah.
