You have bacteria and mold growing on the ac condenser, follow JS's instructions. One tip is when using the AC, before shutting off the car, turn the AC off and let some fresh air into the HVAC system and the car to cool off the condenser so moisture is not present for things to grow. You can also crank the heat up all the way, open the windows, and go for a drive for 20 to 30 minutes to burn it off, if condenser cleaner doesn't help.
