    Time sensitive post here: Just picked someone up from the pool, their shorts were damp. Will this make my car smell? I tried absorbing some of the dampness on the cloth seats with a dry towel. Kinda worked. Parked inside my garage, all windows rolled up. Should I do somethig differently? Just want it to not smell up my interior.

    I had something similar happen and did basically what you did and got up as much water as possible with a towel.

    It finished drying overnight with no smell and no stains on the cloth seats.

    Hello,
    You have a pack #5 spend a little bit more to protect those useless cloth seats.

    Wet Okole's :
    Car Seat Covers | Seat Covers | Custom Seat Covers | Truck Seat Covers | Automotive Seat Covers

    I'm going on 3 years old with my set of Okole's and there bulletproof. Fronts only. They laugh at wet swimsuits....

    When I posted this pic I noticed my pass seat is stained so I need to clean them. I usually just use a topical Scotch Seat Cover cleaner you buy at the autoparts store.

    Why not open the windows to let the moisture out?

    Since you can park inside the garage you may use a hair dryer to help dry the seats. Good luck! :)
