Take the interior apart and pull the carpet out is about the only right way to do it. You might be able to get away with pulling the seats and renting a steam cleaner to suck the water out and then shampoo the carpet. For the seats I'm not to sure what to recommend other than letting them sit in the sun. Are they stained at all from the water sitting on them?

front and rear seats come out in 30 minutes max. the front seats are only held on with 4 bolts. then just look for any bolts that are anchoring the carpet to the floor and take them out. yank the carpet and clean the carpet and the seats and let them dry. if theres any water underneath u could pull your drain plugs(little black circular rubber pieces in the floor) and dry off the floor. it really isnt as bad as it sounds.

My car has been flooded twice up to the center console. Both times I just steamed cleaned it without taking out the interior then let it air out then threw some air freshners under seat. Everything seems fine so me. My car has had some bad luck from the get go....got rearended after five days of ownership and it still runs like a champ.
