There are two categories of damage to the car carpet after flooding. If the water has stayed in your automobile for less than 24 hours, it leads to category one damage which can be efficiently cleaned using the above-mentioned techniques such as dry/wet vacuum, cloth towels, and proper ventilation. However, if the time exceeds 24 hours,  water may seep beneath the carpet and damage the flooring. This might lead to category 2 damage which can be repaired by replacing padding.
