Bottle of crown spilled in my car!
So one of my friends left a bottle of crown in the back on top of the floor mat, and the cap was on loosely and we all forgot about it, and apparently it tipped over spilling all of it's contents out into the car. I think it's all absorbed and soaked in one rear floor mat.
How do i clean this floor mat? It's very moist and smelly. I don't think the alcohol soaked through to the floor carpeting. It's all absorbed into one floor mat.
Can I clean this with household products? What's the best way to do it? I'm just glad the crown didn't get soaked in the leather seats, that would have been terrible.
edit: oops should I have posted this in the detail forum? move this post if necessary.

Probably the easiest is to get thee to a car detail place and have them carpet shampoo the mat a few times.
This is basically the same as a home carpet shampoo machine, nothing special about auto mats.
At least, in my area, a particular detail place charges $4 to run the machine over a set of mats.
If you're super cheap, you can go to a vaccuum specialty store that sells carpet shampoo machines. The usual advertisement is a free "demo" their machine on your car floor mats to show how well it works but you're going to have to sit through their sales pitch.
Or if you're feeling DIY, you can rent a rugdoctor at your grocery store and spend a weekend doing all your mats plus the rest of your home carpetting as well.
Otherwise it's really just a piece of carpet, get some detergent, water and a scrub brush and have at it. Do a few rinses to make sure you get everything out. A wetvac or synthetic shammy will help you get it dry(i.e. just like Vince does in the shamwow demo).

You can just dilute up laundry detergent and water. If you have gentler detergent like woolite give that a try.
