Someone mentioned using a hair dryer but that seems like it could take forever. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

under the carpet there is a foam pad that soaks up the water. That's not good. even if you get the carpet dry the foam will still be wet. that can start to stink and get germs building up.
The only way to get everything dry ( it will be hard )
is to take the seats console and anything covering the carpet off, Then remove the carpet ( it will come out easily after seats ect are out, and dry the pad

Do you mean the carpets are wet. this does take a day or two, but to prevent mold. Take the carpet out and lay it in the sun to dry. There is no quick and easy way, the fiber has to dry and that takes a long time. the padding under the carpet has to dry also or it will mold and rot and will have to be replaced anyway..

The moist carpets might want to no longer be that confusing to eliminate - they are in various of circumstances snapped in or lined with a backing to carry them in position - if it is also attainable to loosen one aspect at a time and raise them about 6 inches or so then they are going to dry themselves or as some one else has suggested get a moist/dry save vacuum cleanser and and another technique is to get towels or rags to suck out the more serious of the water and then attempt airing them out with a hair dryer or perchance a small heater with a reliable fan. wish that htis is a help.

If I understand your question, if ground meaning carpet? a wet dry vacuum is your best choice depending on the extent of the water.If the water is under the carpet underlay or padding, removal of the carpet and hang to air dry may be needed.you do not want rust or mildew to start

The moisture has to escape to outside the car.
You will need to open all the windows and blow air thru the car.
It will take a day in hot sunny weather with a fan, or a lot longer in a garage.
