You know you're recovering your sense of smell when you can finally sense that your air conditioner's fan needs to be cleaned of mold and mildew. I cleaned my A/C last night after realizing I now had a nifty way to do so: my spray can of Dettol (Korea's answer to the UK counterpart of Lysol*). Dettol has the advantage of firing with great force into the fan element, and the microdroplets are small enough not to come running back out in rivulets (as happens when I use my usual Windex trigger-spray bottle, which issues big, fat, blue droplets), so switching to Dettol is a win-win. Why didn't I do this earlier? Because I'm an idiot.

*A little research shows that Dettol is not, in fact, Korean. It is made by Reckitt Benckiser (UK). In the US, the brand is sold as Lysol (which I'd thought was American). Here in Korea, there is only Dettol. I thought there was a reason the spray smelled familiar.
Weird wrinkle: if you go to Reckitt.com and search for "Lysol," there are no results.
