Summer is upon us and that musty a/c smell will once again rear its ugly head. Any solutions to treat the problem and not just mask the odor?

I just spray my car with Hollister Jake Cologne monthly and it usually masks it...but I don't think it gets rid of it

replace the cabin air filter?

 

[Uh-Oh]

Yeah replace the filter. If you go aftermarket make sure it's antimicrobial...

To help prevent the problem turn of the a/c before you turn off the car and just let the vent run for a minute or so. This will help prevent any moisture and mold build up.

Yep!
Just turn off the compressor and switch to outside air about a minute before you reach your destination.

A nice dry evaporator gathers no mildew.
