Go all in on cleaning
I too purchased an 04 XC90 with an absolutely terrible interior. I ended up taking everything out of the interior - seats, center console, carpets, headliner, A B C pillars, etc and then disinfected, recovered the headliner and the pillars, steam cleaned rear carpets, bought new front carpets, reupholstered the driver seat bottom, and put it back together. It is a world of difference and really was not that difficult. Knowing what I know now I could easily disassemble in a day.
