How do you fix wet carpet in your car?

My kids can’t get enough of the beach. Unfortunately, they’ve yet to master the art of drying off, which has been doing a real number on my car’s carpets. What’s the best way to fix wet carpet in a car?

As a fellow beach fanatic, I can tell you that I’ve tackled this problem several times myself. Luckily, there are several quick and easy fixes to dry your wet car carpet.
First, there’s nothing like a healthy dose of air circulation and sunshine. Lower your windows and let mother nature go to work. The air and heat will work as a natural drying agent to help get rid of your wet carpet.
If you’re dealing with a more significant amount of water, using a vacuum to suck up moisture inside the carpet is a sure way to mend your wet footrests. A fan or even a hairdryer can also do the trick if you don’t have a vacuum handy, and a well-placed dehumidifier can work wonders, as well.
