Interior Smell?

The smell is a common problem with many cars. It is mold and mildew that builds up in the a/c box under the dash. Mine had it at the beginning of last summer.

They sell kits that help get rid of it. Pepboys advertises it in the summer. Like $25-30.

I bought a big spraycan of Lemon scent Lysol deoderizer/sanitizer at wallyworld for like $4.

I ran the a/c and fan on high speed and sprayed it into the intake ducts on the outside, in front of the windshield. I tried to get to the inside intake, but its buried under the dash behind the glove box.

I used 1/2 the can then shut it off to let it sit and do its thing. It kills the bacteria that cause the stink. BTW...the stink is the bacteria's FARTS.

I used the other 1/2 of the can about 2 weeks later. I have not smelled any stink since.
