I have realized recently that there are multiple things that I overlook when it comes to cleaning.
I have worked a full time job ever since my partner and I were first married, so cleaning some of the overlooked things was a once a year kind of thing. Now that I am a stay at property mom, I realize that those things absolutely should be cleaned more often. Our a/c is one of those things that I have literally never cleaned. I know it is pretty sad considering we have been using the same a/c for almost seven years now. I noticed that the home office was starting to stink a little bit musty, and at first, I could not figure out where the stink was coming from. After a little bit of searching, I realized that it was coming from the a/c. I took the a/c apart to see if I could find the source of the stink, and I realized that the entire a/c was filled with mildew. It was unquestionably gross to say the least. I thought about just throwing the a/c away and buying a brand new one, but I decided to try and wash it first. Thankfully, it cleaned up quite well. I updated the filter that should have been updated years ago. The a/c grossed me out so badly that I decided that I should absolutely wash my boiler as well. The boiler was not nearly as bad as the a/c, luckily, but it was still quite a job to wash it. Tomorrow, I suppose that I will wash all of the vents in the house.
