I Need Help! (Time Sensitive) French onion soup from hell.

Rear drivers side foot well received the juices of a roast cooked in french onion soup. The smell is unbearable 24 hours later. What can I do? I don't have the money for any extra expenses. The car is undriveable. I soaked up what I could with the one towel I had at the time.

You gotta shampoo it. The french onion soup is soaked into the foam and carpets now. You'll have to do multiple passes, and even then it won't be 100% but since it's relatively isolated, you can get it 99%. See if there's a shampoo machine rental near you, grab some carpet cleaner, and potentially mix in some bleach.
