I cleaned out a car with strong dead mouse smell by removing all the seats and using carpet cleaner on the entire carpet, and upholstery cleaner on the entire surfaces of the seats while they were on sawhorses. Not only did I use the cleaners according to the directions on the cans (dry), I used lots of water and a scrub brush and soaked 'em, then dabbed up as much moisture as I could with towels, then let them dry thoroughly in the sun and breeze before re-install. Yes, it was quite a bit more work than a normal cleaning, but all stains and traces of nastiness were gone after that and it smelled really nice- pretty much like new.
