febreeze and lots of it. met the carpet dry out. open the windows and doors and let it sit outside for a while or if the weather is bad in a garage. use a shop vac and vac the carpet, and when it is all dry use the febreeze and spray it all through the car. if that doesnt work you might wanna go to a detail shop and get something that has antibacterial stuff in it

Take out the front seats so you can get to the carpet underneath them.

Scrub all fabric with a cotton towel after spraying the carpet with simple green, then vaccume it dry.

After this, febreeze it.

I've had this exact problem a number of times with different cars. I only know of one way to keep the odor from ever coming back.

You can clean the carpet all day... The padding beneath the carpet will stay wet and continue to grow mildew and mold until it is removed from the vehicle permanently. If the carpet set is in good shape, remove it, throw away all of the wet underpadding, and scrub the carpet clean with good detergent and plenty of water. Be sure to let it dry completely before putting it back in the car. Then replace the padding. There is no good way to effectively clean the pad, so don't bother with it. Just buy new material.

If the carpet is shot, you may want to consider purchasing a new one. There are some very high quality molded carpets on the market right now that usually include new padding for very little money. This may be the best choice for most people.
