    Had the same problem a few months ago.

    Spray some Lysol. When using the car drive with all windows down unless madami snatchers sa area.
    This is what I suspect, because my car is squeaky clean naman.

    I drove with the windows down yesterday Though I can't use Lysol because it makes me dizzy

    As for the spores ng mold in the vents and A/C system, better have it professionally cleaned if tinatamad ka mag DIY.
    Doctor, don't get mad, because I have not I cleaned the seat cover and carpet naman. As for the AC system, I am scared to have it cleaned kasi baka masira pa nila sa casa.

    LOLd when I saw that at a passenger jeep.

    I go by, "If you want it done well, do it yourself". I made a strict rule for anyone NOT to clean my car. It frustrates my family when my car is gathering dust pero ayoko ipagalaw :P

    I have no idea, I didn't use the car for several weeks (or months). I didn't leave anything moist inside the car so not sure how it happened.

    I've had my car out in the sun since 8 am and it's smelling good again. Later I will clean it.

    when i had that amag thing, it was because it was a very rainy day that i last used the car, before i hibernated it for a few weeks.
    shed a lot of elbows, to clean it myself.
    "next time, sa detailer ko na lang dadalhin."

    i had the same experience last rainy season. the wife did not use the car for a while and left it in the garage. when i got home, its molds all over the interior cabin, leather seats, steering wheel, seat belts, door sidings etc. cleaned it with Mother's VLR then brought outside the garage to dry in the sun with all the doors open. the amag smell went away and smelling leathery fresh again...
