Cleaning the Filter of Aircon

Air conditioner units are warm and damp - perfect for mould to thrive. When a mouldy air-con unit is used, millions of mould spores are dispersed into the air. If you detect a musty or stale smell in the circulated air when you first switch on your air-con, there could be mould growing in the unit.

Clean the air-con filter and cooling coil regularly. Spraying a mould inhibitor on these parts can prevent mould growth. In addition, an air purifier can remove any airborne spores in the home while a dehumidifier can retard mould growth in moist environments.
