it rained a lot last night and somewhat flooded... after work i walked to my car and noticed water was right at the sideskirts of my car. i open the door and damn it smells really bad. guess water did get inside and on my carpet.
how do i fix this? do i use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the water? or what?
ps. if my car wasnt slammed, this probably wouldnt have happened.

I would use a shop vac to get the water out, then get that thing dried out as thoroughly as possible. Put a fan on it with the doors open. You want it to dry before any mold or mildew can set up. Probably still going to have some smell though and I'm not sure the best way to get rid of that. Use a carpet cleaner on the carpets and them spray em with Fabreeze? Hate this happened to you. Being slammed is worth it, just gonna have to park on higher ground from now on.. Lol.

update:
opened up the door sills and used a rag to get the water stuck under the carpet out. the fronts didnt really have any water under the carpet, but the back....there was at about 1 to 2 cups of water under there. i even put some rag under the carpet and pressed down on the top of the carpet. think i got most of the water out.
carpet just feels damp now. most likely gonna do it again tomorrow when the sun is out.
do any of you know if those cleaning cans with brush on the top work?
thanks
