With the air con running flat out this month, a musty smell when you first switch it on is really common — it's usually bacteria and damp building up in the evaporator from condensation.
A can of air freshener just masks it, it doesn't fix it. Proper interior sanitising treats the actual air system, not just the fabric, so the smell doesn't just creep back in a week later.
If your car's been smelling a bit off, that's usually the cause — happy to take a look.
