Ozium is great stuff, its the stuff they use in some hospitals. Doesn't mask the stink with perfumes it just eliminates it.
I do mine every month or so, a few sprays down each vent. I like to top it off with new car smell air fresheners, the kind that clip onto the vents.

Don't shut the vehicle off with the A/C on max or the A/C turned off. This seals any moisture in the system. Turn it to regular A/C and it leaves the vent to the outside open so the ducts can dry and mildew is less likely to form.
