I let my daughter borrow my car to pick up my grandson. After she did he took a nap in the back seat and spilled some milk on the carpet. We cleaned it as best we could however the odor remains especially after time in the sun..How can I get rid of this smell?

Take baking soda and put it over the area where the milk spilled. Mist it with some water. Let it sit in there for a while.m Sweep/Vaccuum it up.
Then Febreeze the car.

I think the first thing I would try would be to have the interior professionaly cleaned. Or, if you can find one, use a carpet shampooer that uses suction to get the liquid back up. If that's not possible, try the stuff you can sprinkle on your carpet in your house that is to help with pet odors. I can't remember who makes it, but it might be Glade or something like that. It should be where all the other home deodorizing products are in the store. Let it sit for a couple hours or so, then vacuum. Hope that helps!

1) Steam it using the upholstery attachment with a rug doctor or carpet extractor. 2) Lots of Febreeze. 3) Deodorizing carpet shampoo. 4) Deionizer/ozone generator. Often used to remove odors in closed spaces like apartments between tenants, they can be rented.
Plug it in and run it overnight. Removes ANY odor.

There are plenty of stains that happen to land onto your carpet each and every day. You may notice them, or they may slip past you. One thing is for sure. Having stains of any type of your carpet can cause you to have less value in your home and will require that you invest in new carpeting more frequently than you should need to. Yet, if you know a few methods to removing carpet stains, you may just find that this is no longer the case. Carpet stain removal can happen if you take some time to learn how to do it more effectively.
To help you, we have several areas listed here that may be what you need. Various stains on carpeting require various types of chemicals or cleaning methods. Knowing which bottle to grab or how to react to the stain will help you to get rid of it faster and more thoroughly.
Food Stains
The most common type of stain to land onto your carpeting is going to be that of food. But, each type of food may have a different method that needs to be used to clean it up. So, to break it down some, take a look at these methods for cleaning up the most popular food stains for in anyone’s home.
Coffee, Juice and Wine Stains:
These are some of the most common types of stains. To get rid of them, use a clean terry cloth or white paper towels to blot up all of the excess liquid that you have. Do not scrub. Next, apply club soda to the area. Then, after a few seconds of sitting, you will want to again blot out the stain with clean, dry paper towels. Next, do the same thing but with clean water to rinse the area. Finally, if these things do not work to remove the stain, apply hydrogen peroxide to the area and let it sit. Blot off any excess liquid there.
Chocolate or Ice Cream:
Yes, these wind up on your floor too. To remove them, mix one teaspoon of dishwashing liquid with one cup of water. Apply to a clean terry cloth and then to the area. Blot as much as possible with dry, clean paper towels or terry cloths. Repeat this process until all of the stain has been successfully removed.
Grease or Oily Stains:
These are some of the worst stains to clean up. But, you can do it. Apply a non oily, non caustic dry cleaning solvent to the area. Use only a small amount. You should check to make sure that this product will not stain the carpet itself by testing it in a hidden area first. Rinse the area with warm water and blot it dry.

There is a product at Sam's club called OdoBan! Comes in gal. size with a spray bottle to pour it into. I know it works because I used it after detailing my 4Runner for sale. Also use it where my dog has an accident (.-) on a rug. Label says: kills 99.99% of germs, Also sanitizes non food surfaces.
