The indoor AC smells strongly of second-hand smoke. How should it be handled
Contents
You are about to move into a new home. Because it is a rental, you will still be using the existing air conditioner in the unit. However, the AC often gives off a strong cigarette smell. How can this be removed?
Deep-clean your AC for sure!
If someone smokes indoors, smoke particles easily build up on internal parts of the air conditioner, such as the filter and blower wheel. Cleaning the filter alone is usually not enough to remove odours that have penetrated inside; professional deep disassembly cleaning is usually needed to deal with dust and dirt that are hard to reach inside the unit.
Find professional help
If the air conditioner is full of a second-hand smoke smell, it is necessary to seek help from a professional team for cleaning. They can effectively remove accumulated smoke odour and pollutants, improve indoor air quality, ensure normal operation of the air conditioner, and make your living environment fresher and healthier.
