So my mom's CRV developed a leak a few years ago, slow at first, but with over 11 inches of rain, her passenger footwell is a lake now.

i have fixed the leak, so now i need to clean the carpets. i can smell the mold/mildew growing, and can even see come of it on the floor mat.

what would be the best way to clean this carpet? im hesitant to completely remove the carpet from the vehicle. my plan is as follows:

wet vac out the standing water and squeeze as much as possible from the carpet.

pour HOT water in the foot well and repeat the vac method.

then put some product on to kill the mold/mildew.

what product should i use? tileX? 50% rubbing alcohol?

thanks for your help!
