Question about spraying Lysol into air ducts.

I've read alot of threads about spraying Lysol into the air ducts to get rid of the musty smell, but i'm not sure what setting to use. Some say to use max A/C setting, others say to just use air setting, but on high. Which setting should i use? Also, where can i buy the small, thin plastic tubes, like you get with WD-40 so i can get the spray into the ducts and not on the dash. Thanks everyone!

You don't spray from the inside, spray from the outside on the passenger side of vehicle into the air duct through the intake by the wiper.
Do not use the max setting on your AC as this closes off the air intake from the outside, keep your blower on med. or high to get the lysol all through the system.

Hydrocide

Hey Guys
A friend of mine told me of this stuff called HydroCide

It works!!
I've use lysol, orange air freshner and other stuff.. Hydrocide tops them all.
Check with you local carpet cleaning place, They should have it..

It come in a 32 ounce bottle. I mix about 3 to 4 ounces of HydroCide with about 32 ounces of water (a large spray bottle). I truned my ac on max,blower on high and mist sray in the passager side floor under the dash.
This stuff has a nice smell.(not strong) I know it sounds a lot like snake oil but It has worked for me.. The guy that sold this stuff to me sprayed windex in a cup then sprayed Hydrocide in it. It neutralized the odor of the windex.. Ive used the lysol,(Hospital Grade) the stuff called ozium and oust aswell. Hydroide has worked best of all this other stuff so far.. I sprayed a good bit in my duct to soak it very well, I wanted to make sure I got a good coat on every thing.. also this stuff has not been on the market very long.
