Not trying to muscle in on the link Rodders.
Works very well, does the microbial bit and kills off germs, quite a strong citrus smell that fades away within a day but the car comes up nice and fresh. Can recommend it, have used it before and just bought four cans, used one on a Honda Civic on Friday.  Real bargain specially if your aircon is smelling a bit fishy.

I tried it in the car on Sunday and it only lasted a day. A bit dissapointed but it's better than paying £9 +
for a can. How long do they normally last....

I'm going to do mine tomorrow in company time
No idea how long it's supposed to last, seems that's what they failed to put on the can.
I'll see the Car Pride Rep when he comes to our warehouse for an order and see if he has any idea. (we sell a large range of Car Pride & 151 stuff to the £1 shops)

When you say it has only lasted a day was there a specific smell before and has it come back?
If you have a curry sort of smell then chances are you may have a leaking heater matrix and this conditioner isn't designed to fix that.
Have a look at http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/faultfinds.htm towards the bottom under climate control concerns.

How do you know it only lasted a day ?....do you have a bacteria testing kit ? 
All it really does is kill the bacteria & mould in the system, so you don't get headaches & a runny nose from breathing in all those nasty little spores. The citrus fragrance is just an added short lived aroma, but as long as it's killed all the bacteria, then it's done it's job
As Geoff W says, if it's a curry smell then suspect a leaky heater matrix. Or maybe the pollen filters need replacing, or it could just be pulling in the smell of an oil leak in the engine somewhere 
Anyway, I bought a couple of cans but haven't tried it yet. It looks like the same kind of thing as the Comma (un-fragranced) stuff I paid £12 for last year, but this is a tenner cheaper  , so defo worth a go
