Antifreeze is water-soluable. If possible, place a waterproof tarp
under the carpet. Pour water from the top and vacuum it up from
underneath with a wet-dry shop vac. A carpet shampoo machine will
work too. Rinse it 3 or 4 times. Use a fan directly on the carpet
for a day or so to prevent mildew/mold.
