I live in Austin and my A/C filters have to be replaced 2x a year, and even with that they stink half the year. It's very humid here, even in my garage, and the car's A/C stinks to high heaven. So I thought of a potential solution.
The last time I replaced my filters, which was last fall (2021), I got some colloidal silver liquid at the grocery store and sprayed it all over the filter material of a new set of filters and let it dry before installing it and.......so far......no smell. We're well into humidity season and my car would usually be stinking something serious by now. Silver has excellent antimicrobial traits and doesn't expire or stop working like other sprays or treatments do. It's woven into things like hiking socks to prevent smell, so I figured what the hell.
Before applying, I researched colloidal silver because I didn't want to ruin my car or the condenser and found that silver doesn't react to other metals or plastics, so I figured I'd try it out.
If I make it all year without a nasty smell, or even if I make it a year before the smell comes back, I will consider it a resounding success.
