Pull the carpets and any insulation (if we have any - haven't pulled the s2k carpets). Odds are everything underneath isn't dry.
Febreeze won't hurt the carpets, but might not be strong enough. If there's mildew, a weak bleach solution will work on insulation side. Mist it on, let dry throughly.

Carpet is easy to take out, and there is very very very little sound insulation under the carpets. Just undo all the snaps and you should have free access. (Along with taking the seats out which is only 4 bolts each.)

You can buy a can of "Damp Rid", which is basically a little tub of moisture absorbant material that will draw out moisture in the car overnight. That may get rid of some of the problem.
