Shop vac and a lot of time. I had a leaking windshield in my Celica for about two  
weeks, didn’t know it, and then it rained and left quite a puddle in the pasenger  
side footwell. It stank after I sucked it all out with a shop vac.

Sooo, I filled a bucket with really hot wate, and mixed in laundry detergent, then  
poured a cup at a time onto the carpet, worked it in with a scrub brush, and sucked  
it out as best as I could with my shopvac. Then used a hairdryer to dry it, then finished with some off the shelf carpet scrubber (Autozone). Lastly, I sprayed it with  
Febreez Auto stuff, and all was good.

that might require waiting a while, but letting the car run for 45 min would have been done already 🙂

Rofl. Isnt there some guy who customizes cars and uses fish an all of his cars? You could give him a run for his money.  
OT- Wet vac and newspaper. The newspaper will soak up whatever you leave behind after vacuming.
