You can carefully scrub the material but don't get excessively rough on it or you could damage it.

If you are able to eliminate the car interior carpet, use a tiny vacuum to clean up the inside of the car. I know you may think it is unnecessary as nobody will see that area when the floor cover is changed but it is critical to keep a car clean. You do not want an infestation of any unwanted pests.

Let your car interior carpet dry under ordinary daylight as it will help to eliminate any remaining germs. It's worth investing in some floor mats and also trying to not eat or drink in the car to keep mess to a minimum. Get into the habit of cleaning up your auto on a regular basis as little and often is very much easier than having to do a huge job because you haven't vacuumed for months.
