I have a subcompact 4 cyl. So is it the full can, or half, or what? Is regular old Lysol ok, or is there any certain ones to avoid for certain chemicals in them???

A good way to prevent this problem is to turn off a/c a couple of minutes before you turn off the car and put the heater to warmest setting. That will dry out the vent box and ducts. It will also prevent your windows from fogging up when you turn on the heater in the morning.

you can spray from the inside duct in passenger footwell(switch to recirc), as well. also, after you spray, turn off HVAC completely for 15-20min, that allows the lysol sit and percolate in system, fuming out and accumulating in system, killing the bugs. with this technique you only need to spray a smaller amount, say 15sec, after that turn back on and fully vent it out as needed. Thanks Scotty, u ROCK!!!

Had "the smell" 🤢 in my car (Peugeot 3008 1.6td 2013) so searched KZbin last night and found this video. Went out this morning and bought the equivalent of lysol in the UK which is Dettol spray. Tried it this afternoon (used roughly 1/4 of the can) followed Scotty's instructions to the letter and ... WOW ... the fusty smell has gone!! *update* have been a run out in the car tonight and switch between AC on and AC off quite a few times and "the smell" has completely gone. I didn't bother taking out my cabin filter as some have recommended but it will be changed at its next service anyway.. thank you so much Scotty 👍

Good tip. A local Chevy dealership actually told me to do this once when I asked them about the smell coming from the vents in my truck. One add on tip to this, if you car has a cabin air filter make sure you replace the filter, but also, make sure the cabin air filter is removed when you spray the Lysol through there, other wise it will get saturated with Lysol which isn't good for the filter, and it also can make the Lysol not be as effective at killing the odors in the rest of the system.

Some cars don't have a cover over the cabin-air-filter-housing (like Toyota Aygo). If you then remove the cabinfilter, that means there is a big 'leaking hole' which prevents the air&cleaner to reach the evaporator. So what to do then?

@@Unfinished_sentenc I have a G37 and my fan is right underneath the filter behind the glovebox. But all outside air has to pass through the filter so all you gotta do is just find out where yours is and spray through there. Sprayed through the outside vent too. I used damn near the whole can of Lysol early morning breeze scent. Turned off the ac afterwards and sprayed through the interior vents and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then just run the fan on high with the ac off to help get the Lysol smell out. You can use any disinfectant spray that says it neutralizes odors. Drive with the window down and run the fan with the ac off until the Lysol smell is gone cause it is strong. But my car smells like nothing now, a good thing. Might as well install a new filter that deals with odor and bacteria while you're in there. Where I live it's not really hot anymore so I waited till now so I won't have to deal with the smell till next year. But all you gotta do is use those little fogger cans as maintenance until the next deep cleaning with the Lysol.

Couple noob questions, 1. If the smell is worse when you're using regular air and not AC - is it possibly the same issue? 2. Would it make more sense to lift the hood and spray directly into the ventilation intake? 3. Should I remove the air filter from the cabin to ensure the Lysol spray isn't being filtered? 3a. If I don't remove the filter, will Lysol stay inside the filter such that I'd be inhaling Lysol fumes long after a day?

From personal trial and error, having the filter doesn't seem to stop this from working, but it won't be as good of a result if you have it. Having your filter on while doing this won't damage the filter, and the Lysol will only last a little bit before it gets removed. Hence why you want to keep your windows open

My question is, if the ac is on with high heat and it’s humid out, are u not adding more moisture on the evap? Why not turn off the ac and just heat it up full blast?

Wholly Smokes your in Houston, I just recently fell in love with Houston and am now a resident myself. You've saved me more than a few dollars over the past couple months. Bought a good 05' Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo this month based on a lot of your "car buying guide" information. Thanks for all the info you share. It really helps folks like myself out a great deal. Especially when money is as tight as it is for most of us. God bless

I think you should take the cabin filter out because all that lysol will just sit and be blocked by the filter. Take the filter out and the lysol will go straight to the evap. Then lysol the filter afterwards. Be careful when running ac without filter though, as it is usually the last lime of defence from leaves!

A lot of vehicles, like my 1999 Toyota Camry, do not have a cabin filter...but...you give good advice to those with vehicles that do.

Worked like a charm. Had the regular Lysol spray already used that. Strong smell of Lysol in the car afterwards but by the next morning that smell along with the dirty sock stench were gone. May try this version of Lysol on the other car or if it comes back. Thank you!! 🏆
