Default How to get rid of stained carpets?

Alright, i had a master cylinder leaking and the car was sitting on a driveway, and all the clutch fluid went to the back driverside carpet and i think i have a leak somewhere so its mixed with water, and has a moldy odor to it, and it also got on my seat belt. whats the best way of eliminating the odor and cleaning it, are there any good car products i can use on it?

Well if you can find someone you know with a STEAM CLEANER, then that will do wonders for the smell. I know personally from experience that steam cleaning is the best thing you can do for the smell in your car.
