Just catch one of those sales on Rubbing Alcohol at your local discount drug store. Pour the alcohol on the brake fluid, might take a pint or more. Let it soak in, massage it as required with a brush. Put your two passenger side wheels up on a curb or blocks, take your water hose and rinse the mess out the drivers door. After it has drained overnight, place newspapers under the carpet to catch the remaining moisture, since it is cold and evaporation is slow it might take several stacks of newspapers over a three day time frame.
