Default spilled coke in passenger seat and floor

i spilled some coke on the passenger seat side and it got some on the car and the carpet...
what should i use to wipe the carpet so it doesn't sink in and get all sticky .. i tried scrubbing it with water and spraying those carpet disinfecting things on to it
any other suggestions ?

Just put the carpet in the washing machine with some woollite and you are all set.

I say go rent a mini carpet cleaner/steamer from your local store and use the machine to clean it. While you are at it, clean the other sides too. Detailing project for you~

get a carpet cleaner like stoner's or any other brand and wash and scrub it out. Then suck out as much liquid as you can with a wet/dry vac. Or get a steamer.

Try using carpet and holster cleaner that you can buy at wal-mart.

You can try "Resolve" and "Woolite" for the carpet. It will work wonders. Good luck.

that's why you need the all-weather floor mats....

try woolite (mixed with water) for both carpets and seats....

Good Luck
