Turn your a/c on recirculate, aim a can on Lysol into the intake vent for the a/c close to the floor, spray a good bit, turn the car off let it sit for a while, turn your a/c back on and let it circulate again, spray a lil more, then turn it off and leave it off.

Should be fine after this, common issue, you just have some mildew growing and surviving off the condensation in the duct-work. Next time run your vent for the last 5 minutes of your trip or so to help lower the amount of condensation in the ducts.

I don't think this is a proper heading for our forums. It just lowers the bar.

Not just any air freshener, Lysol will actually KILL the Mildew and Bacteria as well as stay on the surface and prevent any further build-up for a good while at least 2-3 months depending on frequency of a/c usage.
