We have a unique Top Secret way to wipe out all germs, mold, and bacteria that make your A/C Stink and have that musty smell. You do not want to breathe bacteria in or black mold by any means.***** *****SEE our bike channel SWEET SCOOTS*****
My car started smelling about 3 years ago, got to the point I’d get headaches, sleepy and brain fog from it. I did a bunch of other ways through the vents. THIS video has helped me clear my car of mold and mildew and that awful smell especially come summer. It was so bad I’d make excuses why I couldn’t take other people in the car. Thank you so much for making this video. It’s a simple change but you have no idea how much relief this has provided me in my life. My water came out looking like yours too. THIS is the way to fix the car, and cheaper too!
Glad we could help my friend! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your fantastic results, we really appreciate it. Hope you have a great week. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Just want to confirm I add the first can with lysol clamp it, wait 15 min run ac for 5 min cool down then add the bigger second can wait another 15 min then run a/c again. Is this accurate?
@@BIasterXD would a carbon filter somehow fix an exhaust leak? I'm currently trying to diagnose whether my car has a carbon monoxide leak (mechanic says the exhaust system looks fine) or whether I just need to disinfect the HVAC system because I am similarly feeling tired and brainfoggy when driving recently.
You can prevent the mould forming by always turning off your Ac a few min before you reach your destination and leave it on high fan mode. This reduces the condensation moisture left in the AC that starts the mildew
I do the same with all my vehicles and it really does help tremendously. My latest car I bought as a certified preowned and the previous owner most likely never purged the AC before their destination because the AC STA...INKS when I first turn it on. Glad I found this video. I'm about to hit "Buy" for the items needed and I will give this a try next weekend! I will report back with the results. Thanks again SPC!!!
I’m a single mom and I’m fascinated with your channel. I want to start taking care of my car myself. My son is getting older and this would be a nice way for us to bond. You guys are awesome. ♥️
A very smart move. I cannot remember the first motor I worked on with my dad. By the time I was 14 I was overhauling huge Minneapolis-Moline and Farmall tractors. Start with oil and spark plug changes on your lawn mower. Talk to the local shop teacher to find a high-schooler that will work cheap to get started. Farm boys will probably be the best practical teachers when your son is about 12. They will usually have working knowledge on many practical subjects.
This is the only method that actually worked for me. My wife hated my car very much because of the AC odor and I tried other methods that didn't work. You are so awesome that you gave away all the details that other mechanics would consider to be a trade secret. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Glad it helped mhma2007!! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your fantastic results, we really appreciate it, hope you have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Tip: use blue tac to seal the tube in the hose; you should wear a glove and probably squeeze the blue tac while spraying Another tip: sit can in warm water for ten minutes before squirting and it will spray faster and more complete
One of the things I love about this channel is it supports being wealthy by keeping your car in good shape and not buying a new one. It's the exact attitude I like to see hate to see people use cars like paper plates.
We are with you on that my friend! Take care of what you have and use your money elsewhere. Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great week. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Tried this about two weeks ago and this works 100%. The first two days after it smelled strongly of lemon scent. The third day that scent had faded and it just smelled clean. Two weeks later it still smells cleans. Thank you for this video!
That frame wasn't rotted from the drip line. It is probably in a cold climate where they ice the roads. I've lived in Florida 56 yrs and never had a frame rot and I have three cars 20 yrs old.
So I did this, and it worked. My car’s A/C has smelled like mildew when I cycle the air in the cabin. Been this way for almost 2 years. This stopped it. AND it does blow MUCH colder since the coils got cleaned. Thanks guys.
Excellent! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your great results Michael, we appreciate it. Hope you have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Just a tip if you want to use tbis method. Instead of using your thumb to close the tube and using both hands, instead punch a hole in an earplug, put the tube thru the earplug and then 0ut the tube in the evap and then plug the tube with the earplug. Makes this much easier undercar freeing up one of your hands.
I did this in my Mini that had a consistent vinegar smell on the first cold start. This totally removed the smell. I bought the small bottle of cleaner. The cleaner's cap also worked on a can of lysol. So I just put in 1/3 the cleaner, then some lysol by swaping the cap then the rest of the cleaner. It took 25 minutes start to finish to include jacking the car. Thank You Sweet Project Cars.
Nice!!! Thank you for watching and sharing Jacob, we really appreciate you sharing your results, Great Job! Have a fantastic weekend my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Wow I just brought a car. 20 years of cigarette smoke through the entirety of the car. My air vents make me wanna spew and its embarrassing for passenger. I'm glad I found you ✌
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. Worked perfectly to remove the smell from my 2019 Ram. After completing the process, I had no air coming out of any vents; I pulled the cab filter and realized that the foam had saturated the paper media, which was blocking air flow. After drying out the filter in the sun, everything worked fine and smelled great!
Glad it helped!! It's our pleasure to share my friend, and thank you for watching and sharing your awesome results, hope you have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Hey guys, i wanted to take a moment to thank you for the video you've made. I'm 53 and never experienced a nasty smelling AC before, so when my new (used) car had this blowing out i was freaking out. After Google and TH-cam i discovered the problem. I followed your video letter by letter, including buying the materials from Amazon. I ended up sending the syringes back. Due to this Corona crap finding Lysol is near to impossible, anyways other then that part i did the procedure and it worked FANTASTIC.. the money i saved by doing this myself wouldn't be possible without your awesome video. For that i thank you. God bless you all
Thank for the video. It's winter (4°F yesterday) and I've been driving with my windows full open at times because of the smell. It was hard to reach the drain port on my truck, and it was much larger than the plastic hose. My brain has trouble remembering names, but I remembered having some spare hose. I used some extra a ~1/8" high pressure fuel hose that I had from a past project (adding a fuel filter and petcock to my lawnmower) where its O.D. fit snugly into my drain port, and its I.D. fit snugly with the plastic hose that came with the small can. The best part is that it also reached topside, allowing me to do this standing up by the front right fender. Not a drip of foam wasted. After finishing up, I coiled both hoses and stored them away with the syringes in the freezer bag for the next time, or car, I do this to. I appreciate you providing the links, too. It made it happen that much faster for me.
It worked! you're the beat. And if anyone needs help finding drain on 2018 Toyota Camry, the drain pipe is kind of flushed beneath front passengers side towards the center console you'll feel the fresh air coming out once under the vehicle
I love you I had my camry since brand new and been dealing with the smell cause I didn’t really care, brought a new girl in the car and its always embarrassing when it smells especially being a new car.
I make it a habit to set the temp on High and closing the vents to make sure the air is trapped inside the system, closing it off completely and set fan to max, and turn off A/C engine should be at 80-90 Celsius I drive around for 10 minutes then return the vents to normal and simply set the temp to low cooling everything down again before i park the car, smells are never a problem anymore for me :) the A/C Needs 10 minutes cooldown after a drive to avoid having alot of moist which can turn into mold
Great info Scarecroweb! Thank you so much for the view and comment, we always appreciate input, hope you have a fantastic week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Now I know why I have a sore throat the day after a long drive with the climate control on. Makes sense now! Thanks very much, you really are a life saver!
Tip for Ford F-350, I used a wine cork, drilled a 3/16 hole run spray hose thru cork, jam cork in drain tube(no drain hose) then follow your steps, worked great
This totally works!!! I have a 2008 Nissan Sentra and could not really access the box through the bottom drip hose (underneath the car. Too many turns so, tube would not go up very far). I went to the passenger side and found where the hose was going to. I inserted the spray hose at that point. I blocked the space between the hose and the skinny spray extension with cloth and tape. After it did its cleaning, I caught the gross water with a McDonald's cup so it would drip all over the carpet. Then just put the hose back ... done. After a few days the nice minty smell dissipates and it just smells clean. Wow, what a difference :)
This is the BEST video on this process! I've done it on 3 cars. Note on my 2007 Sentra, the drip hose makes a sharp turn almost 90 degrees right inside where is goes into the car's skid plate. It has a rubber grommet that keeps it from going back into the the skid plate. I removed that grommet and was able to angle the drip hose out enough to work the tube hose on the foam cleaner up into the evaporator, it took a lot of twisting and patience. Also I pulled the little plastic stiffener out of the tube hose because it was hard plastic and wouldn't fit through the bend in the drip hose. Beware because I though the hose was clogged at first, since the cleaner tube wouldn't go but a couple of inches due to the bend. I started cramming a screwdriver to 'unclog' the hose which could have damaged it if I keep trying that.
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching and sharing this helpful information, we really appreciate it, hope you have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
That's great. I just purchased a 2010 Sierra, and the previous owners never even changed the Cabin Air Filter, so there is the obvious mildew smell. I've always bought the can of foam from Honda and sprayed it down into the cowel intake, but this seems to be a much more thorough approach.
Thank you soooooo much Mike! The A/C in my 2003 Accord coupe smelled TERRIBLE whenever I turned it on. This process was so quick and easy! It now smells infinitely better and is blowing colder too! I've been binge watching your videos and stocking up supplies, including a DeWalt orbital polisher. Now that it's cooling down I'll be restoring my headlights, fixing the scratches in my interior plastic, patching the vinyl and ceramic coating the paint all thanks to your excellent, clear, easy to follow tutorials! Be well, be blessed!
I am lucky to be here to tell you I spent 3 months in the hospital after my car carpet padding had gotten really moldy underneath and then spores got airborne and into cabin filters even after I thought it was cleaned it was still really toxic despite bleaching and spraying stuff to clean it up ended up in intensive care for several weeks when the spores and yuk gave me double bacterial pneumonia that went septic and nearly killed me . I had to rip Everything out before the car could be driven again and change all filters in cabin and pull up heating vents clean it with ozone generator and now I have no carpet and have to find mold heat and waterproof sound barrier before I can put in more carpet. . Pay ATTENTION TO YOUR FILTERS AND CARPET PADDING. IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE
Glad to hear you’re doing better people do need to make sure they keep their vehicles clean that’s for sure and dry have a great day my friend thanks for sharing
Have had a nasty smell on the wife's 06 Odyssey coming strongly from the a/c. Definitely trying this. God be with me lol thanks SO much for this as well as all of the other vids! Your channel is beyond underrated my friend.
dave first thank you very much my friend for the kind words we just love helping good people like you :) and for your honda smell this process works and you may have to do it a couple times when they are really bad thanks mike
Another amazing video that gets me excited to put more quality hours in with my rig. It's a 13 year old FJ Cruiser and the AC isn't terrible, but there is definitely a bit of a mildew smell, can't wait to use this! Cheers Mike!
Brother, your TH-cam channel is THE most useful channel for me on TH-cam! I have a 2018 F-150 Platinum that had a clogged A/C line a couple years ago. It’s fixed but I now am experiencing an awful vinegar smell on these humid Florida days. I’ve taken it in to the dealer and the smell never happens when I take it in. I’m definitely going to try this! If this works half as well as your other vids, I’m SURE I’ll be happy! Thanks so much for what you do!
Follow the video to a T and use the exact products/tools we use and you will have success my friend! Thank you for watching and sharing, we appreciate it, have a fantastic week. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars Quick question about the process. After squirting the first can and disinfectant, do you keep it plugged while it sits for 15 minutes, THEN run the engine and A/C for 5 minutes? Then after that, do you let the first can drain before applying the second can?
You don't drain it until you are completely done, all of this is explained thoroughly in the video Mike, please re-watch to follow it exactly as shown. Thanks again for the view and questions, have a fantastic weekend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars Did this a couple weeks ago and NO MORE VINEGAR SMELL!! Thank you!! I’ve had my truck to the dealer twice to trace it and they never could do anything that fixed the awful smell. The stuff you put on your channel is truly legit!! 👍🏼
@@SweetProjectCars do you need an actual needle? I'm not sure they'd sell them without an Rx. Can you use just a syringe? PS excellent video. Very informative, pictures and written instruct to aid all learning types. Oh and smiley faces on your gloves LOL!!
The second bigger bottle is much cheaper but I'd argue using the bigger bottle first then the smaller bottle due to the smell. The bigger bottle I got has a stronger chemical smell vs the smaller bottle that left the ac smelling fresh. Either way I really appreciate the information this video provided me.
This works pretty good, I've always used air craft coil cleaner it has a long ext on it for hard to reach coils. Similar to simple green dp3 which can be used on ALL aluminums
Our Toyota avensis a.c. has always smelled like a sweaty old man, and I have never noticed it dripping condensed water. I have changed pollen filters and run a cleaner through it to no avail. This is my next operation. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Def doing this ,this wk end. My car a 2015 lexus es 350 smells with the ac off ,& just the fresh air coming from out side button is on don't smell that bad with the ac on tho. Cabin filter is maybe 7k on it . But I m def gonna try this. Thx brother
Glad we could help! Thank you for watching and sharing, hope you have a great day and all the best on your weekend project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I can't wait til my supplies arrive, so I can disinfect the ac on my Ford Flex. I asked several dealerships if they offered ac disinfect service, and they all acted as if they never heard of such a thing.
One of the better videos. The kool-it product alone isn’t enough. Ac pro use to make a foam that goes in the bottom that was great but it’s discontinued. I’m having trouble finding something as good. Will try this method. Ordered.
The disinfectant is the bonus.. thanks for showing that! I was able to pop off the sprayer that came with the disinfecting spray, and put the sprayer+clear tube from the foaming cleaner right on the disinfecting spray can and spray it up into the evaporator like that. Not a prefect fit but it worked fine, just make sure to wear goggles for both the foaming cleaning and disinfectant.
Dude, you are an absolute beast. I watched one of your videos and next thing i know 3 hours have past watching your stuff. Amazing information. Please keep up the great work. Can't wait till spring to detail my cars, jeeps and trucks.
To SPC: YES! I did all the instructions & 'tricks' (esp removing dead mouse & excrement from cabin filter!!!) and our 19 year-old Corolla cools & smells great!
Excellent!! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your fabulous results Ralph, we truly appreciate it. Have a great evening my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Awesome information, thank you for sharing your secret. I have an 08 Highlander and I always change the cabin filter but still get a little foul smell at times. Definitely doing this cleaning technique. 👍🏻
We had residual smell from a mouse infestation in A Ford Ranger. The second can of 19 oz was a bit too much and we looked the Wanka Wash with foam coming out of the dash. The smell seems to be gone and for that we are grateful. Thank you for posting your method.
Brother, you are awesome 👊🏻 loved the Spanglish and the SpongeBob effects. Hahah! You have great videos. I’ve shared them with my friends. And they have subscribed. Good work. Thank you.
I drilled a hole very carefully just the thickness of the box and stuck the little hose and sprayed the foam /disinfect into it after I sealer the hole with rubber gasket stuff worked great bunch of gunk came out of the bleeder hose .Easier way at least for me .
I'm glad I found your video. Moved to the farm permanently and am discovering these little varmints are very resourceful. 2018 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie, my baby. Got in where the cabin filter was and the smell is horrendous. Thanks for your video.
Not good, been there done that my friend :( See this video as well th-cam.com/video/IZR2CHVU-Fs/w-d-xo.html it has additional information about getting rid of the stink :) Thanks for the view and comment, hope you have a great day and all the best on your project. mad Mike the hammer SPC

My 2015 hyundai sonata had a odor from the vents. I ordered the stuff and just did it yesterday. Wow what a difference!! It's was really dirty! And now it smells good too! I also did My Ram 1500! Thx for the video I didn't even know this was possible. It's now added on my list of things to do with vehicles 😉👍
Air conditioner is a health hazard if not disinfected ; allergy infection of lungs occur. Many blow ac vent direct to face and get forced air breath inside adding risk , even to eyes .Disinfecting is a must for all vehicles and ambulance .But HOW ? WAS SHOWN BY YOU ! Excellent health tip. I argued at my hospital that they should disinfect ambulance and lift including tunnel.
That's man the Ram ,2018 I could access the drain tube in the back of the engine bay near the two harness plug.. pretty easy job and yes it's running super cool thanks
If your condensation tube doesn't drip, it's possible your A/C isn't blowing cold enough. You're lacking refrigerant. This assumes your A/C is working and blowing cold air.
I just followed the easy to follow instructions given by Sweeeeeeet project cars, and man! Let me tell you my ac blower pressure is flowing way better, and smells really great 👌. Thank you for sharing an awesome tip.
Great technique! I've always drilled a hole carefully somewhere behind the glove box and used a foaming agent. If it was real bad, I'd remove the blower motor. It's also very important to open the drain, which makes this way very efficient.
Pretty disgusting isn't it Jesse?! Thank you for watching and sharing your results, great work my friend! Hope you have a fantastic week. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I've removed the cabin filter ,blast water and alcohol on the condenser then straight water which dripped down from that little hose and it smells perfectly
Instead of using a spray disinfectant try using Oxine AH. Comes in gallon jugs. It's a awesome disinfectant. We uses it for almost everything. Just a suggestion.
I still try it with the product that I bought at the convenience store .. if it does not meet my requirements .. I will order in amazon ..thank you for showing the way because no A/C workshops will show us...TQVM...may God bless you..millions thumbs
I recently got a Civic Si from a dealer and I noticed it has a nasty musty stench coming from the vents. I’m going to try this on the weekend thank you for the video.
what a way to clean your heater core/air control system while it's still on the vehicle! As anyone knows who has changed a heater core before, they always look rough when you pull the old one out..and are frequently smelly as all get out! Didn't even know they made one of these products, and will be getting some soon, even though AC season is hopefully coming to an end (that said it's supposed to be in the 90's early this coming week) Thank you for a yet another great tips/tricks and service series!
Thank you for this, had a crazy mold problem in my car that took multiple foggings and ozonings / a crap ton of disinfectant. Going to try this once i get a jack. Appreciate it!!!
I know that this is 3 years old, but I thought that I'd comment anyway. I like your system, and if a person stays with a program of cleaning it every few years, it should do wonders for the system. You might look for a rubber stopper, or a few of different sizes, that has a hole in the center. Put the tube from the can in the hole, and put the stopper in the condensate drain hose, and it might be a bit easier. Best wishes.
Sweeeeeet Smellin' SPC, this is another great instructional vid from you guys! I really really need to do this to my own cars! Timing is everything right? Now, if you could please come over and help me lift the front end of this Envoy so I can get under there.... Ok, ok, then let me borrow that hard hat while I crawl under on my back ugh! I sure wish I had a hoist! Never the less you've given some great info here and I will git er done! Thanks and have a great week!
Thank you Frank you’re the best we truly appreciate that my friend laying on your back can be an issue that’s for sure thank the good Lord for car ramps have a great night my friend
Thank you for these videos!! I have been looking for a way to fully clean my AC system as I had a bad odor. It’s been mostly remedied, but seems like when the AC cranks on very cold I still get the scent. I’m confident this will blast it out!!!
More fantastic instruction! Would like to clarify something: After the first small can and hose kink/15 minute wait, do we remove the tube when running for five minutes into drain bucket? Then reinsert tube for large can, kink the hose, wait 15 minutes and run for another five minutes for a second drain? Looking forward to ordering the parts & getting this done next weekend. Thanks again!
The stink in my Honda Odyssey was a concern of mine for some time. I did this 2 days ago and my car smells great! Thanks for sharing and keep the videos coming! Next up is putting 303 on and in my tires!
You’re very right if you seen this in it’s dry state inside the evaporator box it would make you sick to your stomach and we are breathing that in thank you very much my friend have a great day
I have a 2008 Honda Pilot I am cleaning for a client and this method would be nice if the hose bends properly then gets into the firewall so u can do the spray in. Otherwise it's just a spill situation. I released the drain hose and will get a different hose to insert and add some air line hose to extend ur method for this vehicle. If u did ur normal way great I was just wasting alot of the Lysol which has to be held into the hose while inserting. Ok SPC have a good one.
Thanks for making this video. I'm in Australia and I hope i can find similar products to what you've used. I think everyone should do this to their ACs annually to maintain the hygiene of the system.
I followed your process and did this to my 2003 Tundra last week. It eliminated the bad smells that were coming out of my air conditioner. The liquid and stuff that came out of the evaporator coil drain hole looked bad. I used the lemon scented Lysol for the disinfectant. My air conditioner smells great now. Thank you for the step-by-step process.
Awesome Jack!! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your fabulous results, we really appreciate it, have a great evening my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
charles910 most of the evap pipes are in very hard to get to areas, you can do the process, of course, the way you like and feel it would be best for you, but we have found the first initial shot of the foam with the disinfect in the pipe really drives it deep into the system, thanks for sharing my friend :)
First time seeing your video! I seen another method with the Lysol can but this method looks more effective. I will try this method. Thanks for the info! Great video!
Do you have the name and contacts for these two products that you are using in the video ? I had this job done twice ... first time it worked perfectly for a full year.

You can prevent the mould forming by always turning off your Ac a few min before you reach your destination and leave it on high fan mode. This reduces the condensation moisture left in the AC that starts the mildew

Ivy very glad to help you and your son :) mike
A very smart move. I cannot remember the first motor I worked on with my dad. By the time I was 14 I was overhauling huge Minneapolis-Moline and Farmall tractors. Start with oil and spark plug changes on your lawn mower. Talk to the local shop teacher to find a high-schooler that will work cheap to get started. Farm boys will probably be the best practical teachers when your son is about 12. They will usually have working knowledge on many practical subjects.
That’s Awesome!
😂🌴🌻💕
Yep. He's single.
This is the only method that actually worked for me. My wife hated my car very much because of the AC odor and I tried other methods that didn't work. You are so awesome that you gave away all the details that other mechanics would consider to be a trade secret. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Tip: use blue tac to seal the tube in the hose; you should wear a glove and probably squeeze the blue tac while spraying
Another tip: sit can in warm water for ten minutes before squirting and it will spray faster and more complete

Tried this about two weeks ago and this works 100%. The first two days after it smelled strongly of lemon scent. The third day that scent had faded and it just smelled clean. Two weeks later it still smells cleans. Thank you for this video!
If you do this every year you’ll have a very clean climate control system thanks for sharing my friend
Update
Simplicity is brilliance. This is one of the most useful and well done videos on the web I have ever seen.
I see they designed the tube to drip on the frame so it rots out quickly
LaserFalcon who knows
Love that honda quality!
That frame wasn't rotted from the drip line. It is probably in a cold climate where they ice the roads. I've lived in Florida 56 yrs and never had a frame rot and I have three cars 20 yrs old.
LaserFalcon Jeep Patriot has that problem rotten sub frame 3 years old

I just did this method today and my smelly A/C air is sooo fresh and clean smelling!!! Thank you for this tutorial!!
Great job! Thank you for watching and sharing your results Thalisa, hope you have a fantastic week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
So I did this, and it worked. My car’s A/C has smelled like mildew when I cycle the air in the cabin. Been this way for almost 2 years. This stopped it. AND it does blow MUCH colder since the coils got cleaned. Thanks guys.
Excellent! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your great results Michael, we appreciate it. Hope you have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Update?
I’m going to try it out on my car tbh
Just a tip if you want to use tbis method. Instead of using your thumb to close the tube and using both hands, instead punch a hole in an earplug, put the tube thru the earplug and then 0ut the tube in the evap and then plug the tube with the earplug. Makes this much easier undercar freeing up one of your hands.
Thank you for watching and sharing Joshua, we appreciate it. Have a fantastic weekend my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Cool idea, thanks 🍻
I did this in my Mini that had a consistent vinegar smell on the first cold start. This totally removed the smell.
I bought the small bottle of cleaner. The cleaner's cap also worked on a can of lysol. So I just put in 1/3 the cleaner, then some lysol by swaping the cap then the rest of the cleaner. It took 25 minutes start to finish to include jacking the car. Thank You Sweet Project Cars.

Just wanted to say thank you for this video. Worked perfectly to remove the smell from my 2019 Ram. After completing the process, I had no air coming out of any vents; I pulled the cab filter and realized that the foam had saturated the paper media, which was blocking air flow. After drying out the filter in the sun, everything worked fine and smelled great!
Glad it helped!! It's our pleasure to share my friend, and thank you for watching and sharing your awesome results, hope you have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Hey guys, i wanted to take a moment to thank you for the video you've made. I'm 53 and never experienced a nasty smelling AC before, so when my new (used) car had this blowing out i was freaking out. After Google and TH-cam i discovered the problem. I followed your video letter by letter, including buying the materials from Amazon. I ended up sending the syringes back. Due to this Corona crap finding Lysol is near to impossible, anyways other then that part i did the procedure and it worked FANTASTIC.. the money i saved by doing this myself wouldn't be possible without your awesome video. For that i thank you. God bless you all
Thank you so much we are glad we could help you have a blessed night as well mad Mike sweet project cars
Thank for the video. It's winter (4°F yesterday) and I've been driving with my windows full open at times because of the smell. It was hard to reach the drain port on my truck, and it was much larger than the plastic hose.
My brain has trouble remembering names, but I remembered having some spare hose. I used some extra a ~1/8" high pressure fuel hose that I had from a past project (adding a fuel filter and petcock to my lawnmower) where its O.D. fit snugly into my drain port, and its I.D. fit snugly with the plastic hose that came with the small can. The best part is that it also reached topside, allowing me to do this standing up by the front right fender. Not a drip of foam wasted. After finishing up, I coiled both hoses and stored them away with the syringes in the freezer bag for the next time, or car, I do this to. I appreciate you providing the links, too. It made it happen that much faster for me.
It worked! you're the beat. And if anyone needs help finding drain on 2018 Toyota Camry, the drain pipe is kind of flushed beneath front passengers side towards the center console you'll feel the fresh air coming out once under the vehicle
I love you I had my camry since brand new and been dealing with the smell cause I didn’t really care, brought a new girl in the car and its always embarrassing when it smells especially being a new car.
I NO LONGER FEEL MOLDY AND NASTY WHEN BLOWING MY A/C IN THE GEORGIA SUMMER HEAT! THANK YOU SIR, LOVE THE HOME BREW WAYS TO GET THINGS DONE!!!!
TYLER glad we could help my very good friend :)
Excited to try this. Is there a disinfectant spray that has a "new car" smell, by chance?
I make it a habit to set the temp on High and closing the vents to make sure the air is trapped inside the system, closing it off completely and set fan to max, and turn off A/C engine should be at 80-90 Celsius I drive around for 10 minutes then return the vents to normal and simply set the temp to low cooling everything down again before i park the car, smells are never a problem anymore for me :) the A/C Needs 10 minutes cooldown after a drive to avoid having alot of moist which can turn into mold
Great info Scarecroweb! Thank you so much for the view and comment, we always appreciate input, hope you have a fantastic week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

You’re exactly right Martin that stuff is bad to breathe in
Tip for Ford F-350, I used a wine cork, drilled a 3/16 hole run spray hose thru cork, jam cork in drain tube(no drain hose) then follow your steps, worked great

This totally works!!! I have a 2008 Nissan Sentra and could not really access the box through the bottom drip hose (underneath the car. Too many turns so, tube would not go up very far). I went to the passenger side and found where the hose was going to. I inserted the spray hose at that point. I blocked the space between the hose and the skinny spray extension with cloth and tape. After it did its cleaning, I caught the gross water with a McDonald's cup so it would drip all over the carpet. Then just put the hose back ... done. After a few days the nice minty smell dissipates and it just smells clean. Wow, what a difference :)
Nice!! Thanks for sharing Will, we truly appreciate it my friend. Great work! Have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
This is the BEST video on this process! I've done it on 3 cars. Note on my 2007 Sentra, the drip hose makes a sharp turn almost 90 degrees right inside where is goes into the car's skid plate. It has a rubber grommet that keeps it from going back into the the skid plate. I removed that grommet and was able to angle the drip hose out enough to work the tube hose on the foam cleaner up into the evaporator, it took a lot of twisting and patience. Also I pulled the little plastic stiffener out of the tube hose because it was hard plastic and wouldn't fit through the bend in the drip hose. Beware because I though the hose was clogged at first, since the cleaner tube wouldn't go but a couple of inches due to the bend. I started cramming a screwdriver to 'unclog' the hose which could have damaged it if I keep trying that.
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching and sharing this helpful information, we really appreciate it, hope you have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
That's great. I just purchased a 2010 Sierra, and the previous owners never even changed the Cabin Air Filter, so there is the obvious mildew smell. I've always bought the can of foam from Honda and sprayed it down into the cowel intake, but this seems to be a much more thorough approach.
It really is! Thank you for watching and sharing Jeremiah! Hope you have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Thank you soooooo much Mike! The A/C in my 2003 Accord coupe smelled TERRIBLE whenever I turned it on. This process was so quick and easy! It now smells infinitely better and is blowing colder too!

I am lucky to be here to tell you I spent 3 months in the hospital after my car carpet padding had gotten really moldy underneath and then spores got airborne and into cabin filters even after I thought it was cleaned it was still really toxic despite bleaching and spraying stuff to clean it up ended up in intensive care for several weeks when the spores and yuk gave me double bacterial pneumonia that went septic and nearly killed me . I had to rip Everything out before the car could be driven again and change all filters in cabin and pull up heating vents clean it with ozone generator and now I have no carpet and have to find mold heat and waterproof sound barrier before I can put in more carpet. . Pay ATTENTION TO YOUR FILTERS AND CARPET PADDING. IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE
Glad to hear you’re doing better people do need to make sure they keep their vehicles clean that’s for sure and dry have a great day my friend thanks for sharing

@@SweetProjectCars Quick question about the process. After squirting the first can and disinfectant, do you keep it plugged while it sits for 15 minutes, THEN run the engine and A/C for 5 minutes? Then after that, do you let the first can drain before applying the second can?
You don't drain it until you are completely done, all of this is explained thoroughly in the video Mike, please re-watch to follow it exactly as shown. Thanks again for the view and questions, have a fantastic weekend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

And now you could just say I was treating myself for Covid.
The second bigger bottle is much cheaper but I'd argue using the bigger bottle first then the smaller bottle due to the smell. The bigger bottle I got has a stronger chemical smell vs the smaller bottle that left the ac smelling fresh. Either way I really appreciate the information this video provided me.

The disinfectant is the bonus.. thanks for showing that! I was able to pop off the sprayer that came with the disinfecting spray, and put the sprayer+clear tube from the foaming cleaner right on the disinfecting spray can and spray it up into the evaporator like that. Not a prefect fit but it worked fine, just make sure to wear goggles for both the foaming cleaning and disinfectant.

If your condensation tube doesn't drip, it's possible your A/C isn't blowing cold enough. You're lacking refrigerant. This assumes your A/C is working and blowing cold air.
Or it is plugged

Hmmmmm...a colonoscopy for an a/c evaporator LOL
LOL Roger that is another good way to put it have a great night or next video will be out Tuesday
A colonoscopy is exploratory. I believe what you're looking for is "colonic" which is cleansing.
the drain pipe on some German cars feature a check valve to make sure it plugs up after a while 🙄
I know that this is 3 years old, but I thought that I'd comment anyway. I like your system, and if a person stays with a program of cleaning it every few years, it should do wonders for the system. You might look for a rubber stopper, or a few of different sizes, that has a hole in the center. Put the tube from the can in the hole, and put the stopper in the condensate drain hose, and it might be a bit easier. Best wishes.

I didn't even stop to think my car a.c. may be causing my asthma flair ups. Here from Arizona
I have a 2008 Honda Pilot I am cleaning for a client and this method would be nice if the hose bends properly then gets into the firewall so u can do the spray in. Otherwise it's just a spill situation. I released the drain hose and will get a different hose to insert and add some air line hose to extend ur method for this vehicle. If u did ur normal way great I was just wasting alot of the Lysol which has to be held into the hose while inserting. Ok SPC have a good one.
sounds like you have a good plan of attack on the honda
Thanks for making this video.
I'm in Australia and I hope i can find similar products to what you've used.
I think everyone should do this to their ACs annually to maintain the hygiene of the system.
I followed your process and did this to my 2003 Tundra last week. It eliminated the bad smells that were coming out of my air conditioner.

Why not just use the tube and a quick squirt of the disinfectant can then follow up with the longer squirt of cleaner can?
charles910 most of the evap pipes are in very hard to get to areas, you can do the process, of course, the way you like and feel it would be best for you, but we have found the first initial shot of the foam with the disinfect in the pipe really drives it deep into the system, thanks for sharing my friend :)

I am a new kid on the block and subscribed to your channel minutes ago , interestingly when will you show us how to replace the exterior air filters on cars and trucks , they normally in behind the compartment drawer! Appreciated !
I have a cheesy smell from my 2017 civic. But then i realized it was my socks
It's probably your breath blowing back at you.
Jajajaja 🤣
OMG it's Sunday and I'm binge-watching your channel. Restoring on a very limited budget my '89 Chevy crew cab dually. I'm not noticing a bad odor but the system is not cooling as it should. I've been quoted very high costs to have shops fix it for me. You even give links in the description -- awesome. Finding this video saves the day. Can't wait to try this. Thank you! 💞🐶😽😻💞
