This spring, we started to get a musty smell whenever we left our house.

I found out that my wife was turning the climate control to off a bit before she got home.

We changed to switching the "AC off" switch to off about 2 miles from home. This causes the car to warm a bit and the climate control turns the fan up to correct the temperature. The combination of shutting off the AC and turning the fan speed up (automatically) caused all odors to go away.

You won't melt if you do this, but your AC will thank you.
