It seems that no matter how clean you keep your house, the window air conditioner will always get that nasty little film of mold and mildew.
Apparently, this is something everyone experiences and I have yet to come across an air conditioner that did not do this.
So what should a person do? Some people just let it go figuring that it will not cause any harm.
While a little bit of mold and mildew may not cause serious harm, to someone who is allergic, this can cause a lot of breathing problems.
Moreover, having breathing problems is never a good thing.
Make sure that you are keeping the air conditioner as clean as possible.
This may mean you have to clean it off every couple of days.
The thing to do is to actually think of it as another piece of furniture.
Every time you clean your living room furniture, you should also clean your air conditioner.
This includes wiping off the front, cleaning dust and debris out of the vent in the front, and thoroughly cleaning the filter.
Do make sure that you completely dry off the filter before putting it back into the air conditioner because you are messing with electricity.
As long as you keep up on doing a little light cleaning on the air conditioner every few days, you should not have to worry about an unsightly and unhealthy buildup of mold and mildew.
You will probably have the cleanest air conditioner in town and that is something that you can take pride in.
