Using toxic chemicals to clean an air conditioner can be harmful to you, your system and the environment.
Certain chemicals, such as bleach or ammonia, can emit toxic fumes that can irritate your eyes, skin, and respiratory system. These chemicals can harm the surrounding ecosystem if they are not disposed of properly.
Moulds when exposed to conditions that are detrimental to its growth, such as high heat, intense light, bleaches or disinfectants, it will respond by producing spores of its cells, called hyphae, which are capable of surviving and starting new colonies elsewhere. This helps the mould to persist and spread, even in adverse conditions. In some cases, certain strains of mould are also capable of forming spores that are resistant to certain chemicals, allowing them to persist in the face of exposure to disinfectants, cleaning agents or antibiotics.
