Also it's been pretty hot with a lot of rain. Recommended solution is to spray a whole can of Lysol into the intake vents with the A/C running at full blast.
I thought I would check with the expert here to see if any of you have had this happen and if the Lysol is the best option or if there is something else.
If the sprays don’t totally nix the smell you could also try an ozone machine available on Amazon.
I’d open it all up cabin filter out etc, close it in car and let it run for a bit depending on size of machine you get. Then air the car out. Don’t breath the 03 of course, it’s toxic to anything living including mold.
Remove any rubber floor mats.
The machine will kill odors exceptionally well.
Best of luck
