	I turned on my A/C today for the first significant amount of time this season. After about 10 minutes there was an overpowering stench like old milk, YUK! I assume there's bacteria growing in the drain pan, are there any tricks to cleaning this out?

You need the vinegar as well for any lasting protection. I used to use Lysol, but it's nasty stuff. The canned A/C spray is even worse, at least to my nose. -- http://www.albany.net/~mjc1/index.html

	Kidding aside ... i work at making cigars and deal with mold a lot. A good wipedown with laundry bleach is the ticket. Leave it on for about 1 hour and then wipe with moist rag. This kills bacteria too. Also see why the pan collected water. Plugged drain? -- Message posted via http://www.carkb.com
