What is the name of the product that you put down on the carpet to absorb moisture that got into the carpet?
There is no product other than "Dry moving air" that will absorb mass quantities of water from a carpet.
There is a product called Capture, from Milliken co. that is absorbent but it is designed as a cleaner not an absorbent fro removing water.
The other thing to be careful with is the subfloor, and carpet padding if any. That will not dry with the carpet still over it & mold & mildew become a real issue very fast. If a wood subfloor stays wet very long expect buckling and degradation of the wood subfloor. You need to get it all dry & fast.

How do you remove vomit stains on carpet?
Most food stains will come out with detergent and water, or with surfactants such as in carpet cleaners. However, some deep set stains resist removal. Depending on the type of carpet, it may be safe to lightly sponge with isopropanol (found in some metal cleaners) to remove the pigments deposited. You can use very dilute white vinegar to remove stains left by stomach acid. This is highly dependent on the fabric/polymer used in the carpet, so test on a similar material before using any organic solvents. (Isopropanol is among the safest and is used as a solvent in many fabric glues. Acetone in nail polish remover can discolor fabrics, as can naphtha in lighter fluid.) -- There is also a commercial product sold for various stains left by pets, which has enzymes that can break down complex food stains.

If installing over cement below ground level the moisture barrier goes down, against the concrete - to prevent condensation and ground seepage from penetrating through the pad.

Using a microfiber cloth to wipe down the windows can help remove any existing moisture.
