"...Rapid drying is the key..."

I agree with Steve. I had to do this to an old 140 when the heater valve sprung a leak. Liquid dish soap and warm water does just fine at removing the anti freeze and most other greases that are in the carpet. Wringing the rinse water out and getting it dry before it mildews is the trick. Squeegy or vacuum as much water out of it as you can and then hang it to dry in a way that a fan can circulate air across both the front and back. I'd almost be tempted to wash it out and then go throw it a laundry mat dryer - unless there is some rubber backing that would flake apart. Personally, I wouldn't worry all that much about it losing its formed shape. I think it will re-conform once it's back in the car.
