2017 was found with water in rear underseat storage compartments, leading to removing the seats and replacing the leaking vents.

What is the best product to treat the floor carpet and the rear wall padding before reinstallation?

If you DO develop visible MOLD

Get a UVC Lamp, Ultra Violet Lamp

A shortwave ultraviolet light in the range of 280 to 100 nm can help kill mold and prevent its growth.

The EPA website on MOLD

There was visible white mold on the carpet.
I pulled the seats out, removed the carpet. The mold was easy to remove with auto carpet cleaner and steam.
Now I'm letting it dry with a dehumidifier in the truck cab.
