Try leaving some charcoal in your car for a few days, should absorb the smell. But you really need to get to the bottom of it.
Did somebody smoke in your car? It kind of smells like feet when it gets into the upholstery.
Hi Helen - Western Washington State, here on the Pacific Ocean, is a lot like Ireland for climate (we have the forty shades of green for sure). I would suggest keeping the pot-type dehumidifiers in your car. It's just a kit you buy, a plastic container with a packet of crystals to put in the top half.
Helen, You might want to try putting baking soda on the carpet and upholstery. Also BBQ charcoal sounded pretty good too.

Helen,
Sometimes when we get a lot of rain and use our air conditioner or vents it smells like "feet', but I think it is just stagnant water. We let the car and vent run for a while or you could check with a car dealer.
Also could be something like urine from a cat
or other animal that was UNDER car where you may have parked for a while in the heat or animal could have peed under hood or on tire maybe?
I had a zucchini roll under my car seat once. Out of sight, out of mind. Until a few days later that is. Wow what a smell! After scooping it out with paper plate, I cleaned the carpet as well as possible and then Febreezed the whole car, especially the carpet. It worked!
The problem that you are having is caused by one of two things. The first one could be that someone left the window down when it rained and the carpet got wet and went mildew. The most main cause is your AC system. The "evaporator" in your condensates on the outside of it. Air is blown across it from your AC blower. Dust and the like get stuck to it and it starts to break down causing the odour.
