Attempted to clean evaporator this weekend

Hey all,

AC smells a bit funky, a touch moldy. Sprayed some lysol in the cowl and replaced cabin filter, which helped a bit but wanted to clean the evaporator.

Purchased this cleaner:

$15 Lubegard 96030 Kool-It Evaporator and Heater Foam Cleaner

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007PHD0S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yesterday, crawled under the truck and found the ac drain, and that is where I ran into my issue. It seems when I snake the tube up the ac drain it feel like it hits a wall and wont enter the cavity where the evaporator is housed for some reason. I said let me give it a shot anyways and the foam just shot right out.

Any of you guys use this foam cleaner before via the ac drain?

Thanks,
Mike

 

I see a lot of good reviews clicking on the Amazon link. I also see enough 1 star/2 star reviews to make me think otherwise. Some thought Lysol was just as good if not better; others mentioned allergenic issues.

 

Well currently I wont be able to see if it works cause I can't get the straw past the nipple on the ac drain ! I think what is happening is the angle of the drain tube is 90 degrees from where the nipple is. Will have to investigate further.

 

a nice can of Lysol or other disinfectnant works very good, and replacing the cabin filter. ive read where some folks put a strip of that Bounce clothes dryer sheet on top of the cabin filter to give more freshness.
