Changing the cabin filter and using the TOYOTA kit worked miracles for my LS430 and I would do it again. I'm sorry but, I disagree. Lysol doesn't cut it. It's a band aid on a larger AC problem. The foam used acts as a detergent and cleans the evap core of bacteria and mildew. The LS has two drain Hoses. So, once the contents are all in the evaporator, it cleanses it and drains out the other tube, along with excess collected mousture. It was VERY effective. Then the second step with the deodorizer through the cowl made a difference as well. And again, was not very expensive. Toyota marketed nothing to me. I found it on my own and went and picked up. Instead of hating on my thread, how about considering it may be helpful.
The kit is licensed and sold by Toyota. I seriously doubt Toyota would put their name on anything and sell it though their parts departments if it was a gimmick.

Correct, I have not had any return in odor. Blower set to max, outside air, AC off, slowly spray it down where you feel maximum suction right below the wiper and you will see it start drain out the tubes. Spray the whole bottle down. I leave the doors open as the alchohol smell is strong but quickly evaporates. Then turn the AC on for a few min. This was done about 6 months ago.

This information is genius. Washing the evaporator core with alcohol. I just used the whole 32oz bottle of 70% alcohol, put it straight into the blower on HI thru the glove box. This sure beats going underneath the car and is cheaper too.
