hoonami

On our 06 rx400h, i've tried bunch of stuff to get rid of stain and smell.
It smells like baby diaper. I've tried carpet cleaner(many different brands), tried a/c deodorizing spray, febreez(few bottles), ozium(air deodorizing spray),and air freshners. I would spray carpet cleaner, spot cleaner and scrub it with carpet brush and vacuum it off, leave the doors open in hot summer days and dry it off but smell and stain still there....is there any over the counter stuff i can use to get rid of smell and stain? and has anyone tried steam clean air vents? thinking about buying handheld steamer from walmart and steam the air vents and turning the heater on for few minutes to dry the moisture to prevent mold and stuff....

is the smell all the time, or when you turn on aircon / fan?

I had the same situation...changed out the cabin filter with couple of drops of scented oil (the one that are burned using tea lights) and it was considerably better

have you tried using klima-cleaner and changing to a new cabin filter?

right before you get to your destination. turn on the fresh air and a/c off as prevention.

blasting the heat on high for a while might help. but klima-cleaner is probably your best bet.

are your carpets wet? Could be a blocked A/C drain?

+1 on changing the cabin filter

Try So2Pure by Carpro but only if the source of the issue has been taken care of...
