If you want to do it proper, rip out the whole interior and clean it and put it back in.

Pain in the ***, will take a week or two with a garage (depending on drying time), but it's the only way you can ensure things don't mold and get mildew-y

FYI: State Farm, at least in the Southeast region, is an automatic certificate of destruction if there is water entry into the car. They got burned bad a few years ago (flood claims are notorious for having supplements even a year or more later, and once they make one repair they are married to it and can't total it) and stopped doing flood repairs entirely. I had them total a beautiful car that needed the carpets pulled and dried and nothing else. They are able to total on speculation with flood, so damage percentage is irrelevant.
I haven't run in to that with any other insurance company, but State Farm is like that across the board with water claims now.
Just a heads up.
