Put water-soaked towels on to draw as much out as possible.
Dried with a blowdryer.
Put about 3 boxes of baking soda where it had spilled.

A couple days later, vacuumed up the baking soda. No smell!

Also, leave the windows open as much as you can. There's a deodorizer you can get at the hardware store= I think it's called Air Dry. It's in a white plastic container. Leave that open under your seat. It deodorized my trunk when I'd left a sandwich in there during a heatwave.
