switch to A/C on high. do not turn on recirc. spray the lysol again for 30 seconds. wait 30 seconds and spray again for 30 seconds.
turn on recirc for a minute, then switch it back to outside air. hopefully it removes any mold in the system. install new cabin air filter.

Thanks for the tips, but this is not a mold problem. As I explained in my original post, the smell is a perfumy scent, like some kind of air freshener scent that the dealer likely used when they detailed the car. That’s what I’m trying to get rid of. I’d rather my car smell of that than Lysol.
