This may help. I use cider vinegar in the bleach compartment of my washer when my towels smell sour so I'm wondering if a vinegar/water solution may neutralize the smell in your car. I would try spraying it down and sponging it up with towels a few times.

First, take the floor mats out of the car.
If they will fit, put them in your washing machine and wash with regular laundry detergent in warm water. I was able to fit mine in without folding. They don't move around much when the washer agitates, but they still get quite clean.
Then hang them out to dry.

If they won't fit into your washer, you can scrub them down with a mixture of either laundry detergent and water, or any other general household cleaner (Lysol, Spic & Span, Simple Green, Mr. Clean, etc.)
Hose them off and hang to dry.
