Cleaning a condensate line with bleach

I have used every single household cleaning product under the sun.

I am not the greatest fan of vinegar simply because of its acrid odor.

It leaves that gross smell on whatever surfaces you wash with it. I really suppose that vinegar odors like body odor half of the time when you’re trying to use it to wash something. Granted, I understand that vinegar is wonderful at what it does, but it’s not always the best option if I want a surface to odor fresh plus wash after I’m done with it. These are pressing factors to consider because the smell that’s left behind when you’re finished cleaning is pressing when you want your whole house to odor good. That’s why more often than not I willwash with bleach or some kind of deodorizer that’s designed to make something odor good. Bleach is wonderful in some respects because it kills almost everything, but at the same time it is not always that wonderful at deodorizing. I have to use bleach to wash the condensate line in my air conditioner for instance. This condensate line is where all of the exhaust water goes from the air conditioner as it pulls the moisture from your indoor air. This is part of the air conditioner process, plus the water has to go anywhere or would flood the air conditioner plus wherever the air conditioner is located in your house! Cleaning the condensate line with bleach will prevent clogs from algae or microbial buildup.
