air vent cleaning

Hi,

This is a one of those "silly" questions...

Is there a good way to clean out the air vents from the cowl inside the engine compartment, without having to take the blower fan out? (unless it is the best way)

They have a smell to them, whenever you blow anything through them (heat, vent, etc) - Smells like previous owner.... "gamey"

I don't want to just mask the smell, I want to kill it :-)

is it safe to spray Frebreeze into the vents/defrost, etc? or is there a better way?

Thanks

Might try Lysol. It's a very good microbe killer.
