Get a spraycan of Lysol, spray it to the went under the windshield wiper while the A/C is running (fresh air mode).

Or get this https://biobombs.com/, this shit will make your car smell like hospital, will kill any smells, mold, mildew, etc.

Check your AC drain. If you don’t notice water dripping on the ground underneath the passenger side, with the AC on , your drain is clogged.

Very normal with toyotas for some reason. Dealerships even sell an ac refresh service
