Forced air & mold

[akpolaris]

I have a downdraft forced air furnace. attached to the bottom I have installed a Scuttle humidifier. it has been running for a few years I think I am seeing mold in the furnace air box. How can I mtigate this?

White vinegar kills mold. Better than bleach actualy.

Just a good spray into the airbox?

I've used Concrobium.

Add a UV light to the plenum. If it is in the plenum it is in the ductwork too.

Just thing outside the box, how about ozone machine?

If you did, no people, pets or plants while in use.

Lysol Spray will help. Are you sure it is mold? Seems odd it would grow in a warm dry furnace airstream..... Is there a leak or some other source of moisture in there?
