Does the clean smell still persist?

[@handyneasy]

Hi! The clean smell from the Klima Cleaner is very light and will fade away after a week or so. If you have a mold infestation, the Lysol smell can linger for a longer time. If after a month you still smell the Lysol, I would recommend to replace the cabin filter as the odor can be trapped there.

@@handyneasy Thank you. After this process, did the musty smell in your vehicle completely disappear?

[@handyneasy]

@ for most cases, the musty smell will disappear just by using the cleaner. If you have a mold infestation and use the sanitizing bomb I recommend on the video the musty odor will disappear, but you will probably have to change the cabin filter once again as the Lysol+musty odor is prone to be trapped there. If all of this fails, I would recommend that a mechanic assesses the AC system operation (especially if you are having problems like AC not cooling ice cold). It can happen that sometimes a component of the system e.g. AC compressor is not working efficiently and needs replacement. Hope this helps!
