Bad A/C smell in my 2018 Civic Si?

[BMP99SI]

Hello, so I own a 2018 Honda Civic Si Coupe. So, now there’s this annoying smell coming from the A/C when it’s on. Kinda smells like an old rag or something. And I don’t know how to get rid of it. It ruins my new car smell when I turn my AC on lol. Does anyone know what I have to do? Thanks

Every car Ive had give this smell. Its all the bacteria in the pipes. Two options.

1) check youtube on how to clear the vents and pipes.

2) which I use, run an Ozone generator in the car with recirc on.

Change the cabin filter first before you go spraying a bunch of stuff in the vents.

If you haven't changed it yet, do so; it likely contains a "rat's nest" - ours was mice.
