Bad Smell coming from air conditioning

Mine is starting to smell like gym socks after I turning off my a/c and running on outside air. I always turn off my a/c and run on outside air about 10 minutes before parking my car. It held off the mold well...
Can you post a quick instruction?
Where did you spray the klima cleaner? Did you spray in the interior center vent with FAN on ? Or spray in center vent with Fan Off and then turning on the FAN later?
Or set it to outside air with FAN on and then spraying on the vent outside the car near the windshield?
Thanks!

Does it smell like urine? That's probably the mold in your A/C evaporator unit that was caused by condensation / moisture build up.
The best way to avoid this is to shut-off your A/C unit 5 minutes before you park the car. I usually turn off A/C and let the fan run on outside air about 5 minutes of reaching my destination.
You can try to run the car on outside air for a while to clear up the smell and put it into windshield defog.
If your car is under warranty, try asking the dealer nicely to help clean your A/C. Some may do it and some won't...
