How do I clean my AC that was sitting in my moldy flooded basement?


Question:I bought an Air Conditioner last year. It was being stored in my finished basement. My basment flooded and there was mold everywhere. We had to completley redo the basment. I am wondering what steps I should take to clean the AC so that I can safely use it without worrying about spores of mold floating through out my house. Can I clean it with bleach or should I just suffer through the summer with fans?

Answers:
First wash it with lyesol concentrate. Then after rinsing completely, wash it with bleach water.

Leave to dry in a well ventilated place. (let the bleach water evaporate, do not rinse.)

after a couple of days, repeat, but rinse it off with clean water at the end, You should be safe at that point. Put new filters in it.
