Anyone used FrigiClean A/C cleaner (the foam, not the spray)?

I have an '06 CRV with a mildew stinking vent system (it's out of
warranty). Frigi-Fresh (the spray) doesn't really do anything...it lasts
two, maybe three days (and I do pull the cabin filters when I apply it).

I'm thinking about getting the Frigi Clean foam kit and trying that.
Anyone have any experience using that (or any other similar product) on a
Honda? Did it work?

just use alcohol. that's all these things are, only expensive and
scented. take out the filter, get a squeezy bottle, spray in some
isopropyl alcohol making sure you get as much of the evaporator matrix
as possible, and you're done. repeat periodically. make sure the
evaporator drain is not blocked.

This assumes one has direct access to the evaporator.

I always thought bleach was used to kill mildew.

There is no permanent solution for mildew, it grows when the conditions are
favorable.

Here's a cheap (least it used to be) procedure to try:

Change the pollen filter.
Park car with the front into the wind.
Start the engine; turn the A/C on; turn the temperature control to Mx Heat.
Set the blower on high and set the recirculate mode to on.
Close the doors and windows.
Allow the car to sit in this setup for at least an hour, 2 if possible.

The heated and dried recirculated air will kill any mold or mildew.

You can use a mixture of vodka and apple cider vinegar (it smells
better than regular vinegar!) sprayed into the air intake. Wipe if off
any painted or plastic exposed surfaces after you spray it in.
