Default Heater/ac smell

Smells like dirt! just stinks. Is there a way to clean the ducting? my buddy used a garden hose on his 98', He also had rubber floor and not carpet. Want to clean out the ducting and the cores if all possible. Not just cover up the smell. Any suggestions?

If you want the HVAC system clean, and truly clean, you need to remove it and wash everything. The dash has to be removed for such an operation, and will be a full days, if not two days, work. I removed mine last year to clean out my A/C evaporator as it was clogged with crap. I had the help of a buddy and it took about 8 hours all said and done. That did include a radiator wash as well though. Freon will need to be evacuated and coolant drained to remove the HVAC system.
