Lay a newspaper over the footwell overnight and replace as necessary. The heater will do the rest.

Thanks for all the tips, everyone. I think I'll use a combination of these ideas to deal with it!Running Club targets 20105KM - 21:00 21:55 (59.19%)10KM - 44:00 --:-- (0%)Half-Marathon - 1:45:00 HIT! 1:43:08 (57.84%)Marathon - 3:45:00 --:-- (0%)0

There should be a sealed plastic sheet between the metal of the door and the door card (the inner trim with handles etc on). If not, then the water will just be dripping in through the bottom of the door rather then out throught the drain-off holes in the bottom of the outer edge of the door.
The boot may have a poor seal on one side, possible where the seal joins as it's rarely a one-piece seal but a strip cut to length.
Thank you. Will have a looksy

If you find that your carpet starts smelling then try the Stain and Odour Remover from Pets at Home.
I bought some when we got a puppy but didn't have to use it much.
However, it did come in handy for the fiesta that we are scrapping as it always rains in the boot and the carpet was stinking.
Just a couple of sprays and you will find that it neutralizes the smell.
It's about £6.50 a bottle but if you have a small spray bottle that you can use then get the refill bottle which is £5.

i found heater pointed at the floor and the rear windows open just a little pulled the water out pretty quick

I know you don't have electric near the car, but perhaps someone elses house? You could try one of those water-sucking vacuum cleaners?0
