Vent smells like body sweat

Sup TW,

So ive got a 2020 tacoma second hand and had it for almost a month, ive run ac No problem, some how i just use fan blower and it smells like body sweat, thats when j notice.
Also ive use lysol spray in blower fan ect.. and few days later smell is back.. any one had this issue?

 

Turn off recirculation and it should clear up.

 

It smells when i first turn it on and yes without the recirculation no smell,, but comes back on everytime i set it on blower,, ac dont have the smell but just the blower

 

Check the cabin filter for moisture and/or see if anything got into it.
Also the AC/Heater box under dash has a drain so when AC running it should drip out that under front passenger side.

 

I had the same issue and followed these steps and it fixed the gym bag smell:

ill try take a look tomorrow after work and update you folks..

 

Ill give this a try tomorrow and keep you folks updated

 

I recommend Klima Cleaner for the AC coils followed up with ozium spray; both from Amazon. Klima cleaner spray in the ac drain line till it foams up then it will drain when it's ready. Ozium in the intake vent on the cowl afterwards. Definitely replace the cabin filter too.

 

Maybe not related to your problem--I try always to turn off the AC before stopping to allow the system to dry out. That avoids the smell.

 

Take a shower

 

Maybe you have a dead mouse somewhere in the system. just saying

 

This cleans the whole system. The suburu kit is cheaper than toyota.

Who's body sweat? Taylor Swift; leave it alone! Hulk Hogan; sell it for whatever you can get for it.

I also have this issue. Had my 2021 Tacoma detailed and it smells great until trying to blast the A/C the sweat smell comes back for a few mins.

 

Just a quick note—based on the instructions at the link I provided above—I didn't use the entire can of AC duct cleaner as @IRONCLADBARREL suggested but only about 1/2 of the can; however, I did follow the rest of his instructions. Additionally, I got a K&N cabin filter and clean it once a month and I keep the Ozium canister in the rear armrest cup holders so I can easily open or seal the top depending if I'm driving with the windows open or closed. So far this has prevented the gym smell from returning over the last couple of months and the only comments from passengers now are how fresh the truck smells.

 

I used the Meguires bomb on my last truck and it did wonders. Depending on how sensitive one is to smells the first few days can be a bit much but I garage park my vehicles so I was able to roll the windows down and that helped.

Even when the fragrance disappeared the offensive odor that I was trying to eliminate didn't return. This was after febreeze, baking powder, removing the seats to shampoo and none of that was as effective as the odor bomb.

 

If you take a shit in the back seat you wont smell the body sweat

 

ive just bought it from a friend of friend,
