Sorry to report none of the above work at all.
The car was set to idle for 45 mins with heater at MAX with air circulation vent ON. The car was so hot inside when I got back to it.
I also spray LYSOL towards the end on the air intake and hope it will get rid of the smell overnight. But the next morning when I started the car smell was reduce but only after 2hrs of using the car the park for 2hrs more then started it again the smell was back.
I have now no choice but to have it service by Toyota.

Finally found out that this thread had been moved to the workshop.
The car is with Toyota Ortigas Shaw since Monday.
They confirmed the bad smell ---- like basahan with water yucky!!!
The reason why the car ended up in Ortigas-Shaw was I made a complain letter to TMP and they got back to me and advice me to bring the car to Ortigas Shaw.
As per the Service Advisor they pull down and clean the whole system and I think some guys from TMP went there today to check the case of my car.
I hope that they will fix the problem and give me back my car by tomorrow.
I miss my car.

Just ask them to replace the whole AC system. up to the last bolt.
I would've or I'll demand unit replacement if I don't get full refund.

im glad you didnt pay for this. i think its time for you to find another dealer to service your car .
this is common with our infiniti suv and other nissans recently. do you turn off your car with the ac still on? or do you turn off the ac just right before you turn off the car? that may be the cause of it. try turning off the ac and leaving the fan on for a few minutes (or earlier than we normally do) before you turn off the car. also, if your car has a cabin filter, invest in a replacement filter with charcoal if possible. in my case i still smell it initially (if i forget to keep fan on longer) but much less than before.

Finally I got the car today and it's smells clean now.
They didn't charge me for the AC cleaning and I'm glad that they clean the whole system
I hope this does not happen again.
My usual practice is to turn OFF AC before turning OFF the engine.
I will now try to practice FAN for 2mins before turning OFF the engine.
We never had the problem with our SUV expedition or MB or CITY but it did happen with our Mazda 3 and Suzuki Vitara but the Camry has 10x more intensity in BAD ODOR compare to the two that had such issues.
From now on Toyota Ortigas Shaw would be my favorite service center.
