Exclamation A/C humidity Smell

Hello people! well this is my issue; I have a hard scent to humidity when i start the A/C in the morning... really all the times when i start the A/C.. but is not perceptible when the a/c is started 2 or 3 times in the same day... i only get the humidity smell when the car is off by 2-3 hours in ahead

I know i'm not the only one with this issue, any help guys? someone try any fix & results?

I check the exit water down the car (near the tranny) & all 2 are free water flush

Help! i hate that smell in the morning

search forum for tons of posts. mildew formation seems to be the primary culprit. key words to use probably "smell" "AC"

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Change your

cabin and pollen filters.
diy on benzworld.org w210 diy section
filters at autohausaz.com w210 a/c parts section

Spray some anti fungal and germ spray into the cabin air intake vent at the base of the windshield with the blower set on high.
You can buy a/c spray if you shop around.

I try this 2 way's friends... i remove the pollen & carbon active filters, spray the antifungal, put all new filters but smell persist (not too much first 2 - 3 days after) but one week later the smell returns I'm very angry with this

possibly that you've not sprayed enough....or there is much build up. i thought
there was a TSB on this but cant find it right now. i see many posts with
techniques: spray, running heater hot for long duration, running AC. so it
evident that one solution doesn't fit all. "moldy smell conditioning " also yields
many videos on YouTube
