I probably would not get the carpet soaking wet. Just wet the scrub
brush in the cleaning solution. Rinse several times and dry using a
table fan for a couple days, or you can put the car in the sun. You
can also try one of several upholstry cleaners in a pressurized can
that produces a cleaning foam. I use the hand-held power attachment
to my carpet shampoo machine. Best bet to get the carpet really clean
is to remove it, clean and dry, and reinstall it (I've not heard of
carpeting cemented in place, E-gads!)
