This is what your AC filter is supposed to look like

The big AC is putting out cold air again! Yay! I have also cleaned 5 more filters and sent Thorin a nagging email about the one in his room.

DON’T BE ME!! Clean your filters!

I might actually want to borrow that set to finish cleaning up the Attic South AC, which was left undusted for so long that there is semi-solid crud on parts of the fins. It's probably too much for the soft brush, but the comb just might do the trick. Just cleaning the disgusting filter made such a difference that I am semi-inspired to finish the job.

I might even have a second set -- I think for some reason they came in sets of two. I was going to give that second set to downstairs, but there's no reason you can't borrow it first.

I've been too timid to use the fin comb, feeling that if it can straighten fins I am just the person to mistakenly bend them instead. The brush is softer than the comb but it's fairly stiff. You can experiment.
