Extraction type machine with the small "Upholstery" head - if you
don't get the cleaning solution on the fabric or carpet and then
vacuum it right back off, the soap soaks into the foam seat cushions,
or the carpet backing and padding, and you'll have bigger problems.

Then remove the twelve cans of Vanilla air deodorizer he stuck under
the front seats - that should do it... ;-)
If he poured the stuff on the carpets or into the cushions, you
could have to simply wait for it to dissipate. Park it in the sun
with all the windows open and a fan aimed in, bake it out.
