pull in the garage and angle one of thoes space heaters on the passanger side to heat it up, a hair dryer would take way too long.

Rep Power: 364 nah, its not fabreeze...
dry it out, and then scrub it clean with a sponge. There will be a slight amount of soap left over... just scrub it, let it air dry if your garage isnt too cold, or put the space heater on low overnight... should be good, its how I got my stuff dry after I cleaned my carpets. The smell of soap will stick around for a while, but after 2 weeks it should be totaly gone.
