I had the same on my Audi cab with the washer bottle after adding a different screenwash, stank like rotten eggs 
While we're on this subject - just bought a new to me car, pretty sure the screenwash is not Mercedes, reluctant to pour in SummerFit until this one is used up ... Anything I can add to it, to neutralise potential nastiness and clean the bottle, without removing it?

I just pumped what was left in the washer bottle out into a bucket ( not throught the washer nozzles ) using an extra piece of pipe, flushed the system out with a weak disinfectant solution ( I used Zoflora as it smells nice ), then refilled the system with my usual screenwash at 50% concentration. It was fine after that

If your car smells bad I would also pull up the carpet in various places and check for leaks, nothing like damp carpets to make a car stink
I'd say the carpets have picked up lots of smells, dust etc over time, so the smell would appear in warm weather.
Best scenario is to wet vac the carpet, I cant see this being a long hauled job, but you will be amazed at the amount of dirt that will come out!
Of course, changing cabin filters etc would help too, an air freshener will just mask the smell.
