Close windows, turn heat to 90, leave a couple windows cracked open a
couple inches to vent the moisture.

This is the fastest way to dry the place.

The higher temp drives the moisture into the air, you could run a
dehudifier too.

Ever scrub carpets and run AC to dry things? Carpet stays moist for
days.

Heat and dehumidify is how water restoration people handle things

I'd go with using the AC over heat. If you get in a car with wet
close on when it's been raining, the windows fog up. Turning on the AC
is the fastest way to get that moisture out. Turning on the heat takes
a lot longer and makes the whole thing a lot worse first.
I'd do the same with the basement, or rent/buy a dehumidifier
