   take carpets out and give them a good clean. let your car dry out then clean the floor etc. you can buy these fragrance bomb things off ebay, they sound quite good, maybe worth giving it a shot mate.

   Take them out & use a pressure washer on them.

   As said take them out, use a carpet shampoo clean them up, spray them with a fragrence for fabrics. Allow to dry and should be ok
