Question

My home in window a/c has a foul smell what kind of cleaner can i spray into it to rid the smell?

Answer 1

You most likely have a mold, mildew & fungus growth. There are "Odor Treatments" available in most automotive stores that cost somewhere around $10.00. These treatments are used for window units and also for vehicles a/c's.

Answer 2

Lysol!

Answer 3

mine did the same thing and it wasn't draining like it should, the drain area was plugged and the AC wasn't tilted back far enough so the water that collected just sat and got nasty. Once you get that taken care of, a little bleach in that area should fix it.

Answer 4

You must have water there that is old and probably moldy and you need to clean it good plus the filter has to be cleaned at least lx a year.  I'd clean it out with bleach water, like l part bleach to 10 parts water.
