Left sunroof open during a storm, help......please?

I left my sunroof open during a storm two days ago. And my car smells so horrible. My cloth seats were drenched and now I just know there is tons of mildew in them. What's the best way to clean up this situation?

I would take out the front and rear seats and let them dry outside in the sun. if that's not an option, i'd park the car in the sun and keep the windows or sunroof cracked so the car heats up, but lets the moist air out of the car.

Rent a carpet shampooer and go over the entire car. Then spray a bottle of Febreez all over & close the Windows.

I did the same thing but I would advise taking it to a detail shop and let them take out your interior and clean everything, yes you'll have to pay them but it is well worth the money. And you don't have to do the work yourself, it helps if you don't have the time.

I second the carpet shampooer idea. I've done it on my interior just to get it cleaner than vacuuming and it works great.
