How do I get the smell of spilt milk out of a carpet?

Question

Have tried various cleaning fluids - washing up liquid, Cillit Bang - still smells a bit.

Answer 1

Have you tried with Milton, Which is a Sterilising solution used to clean new born baby´s/ children´s drinking bottles. This will rid the smell, I use this around the house for many thing´s . Leaves the fridge smelling very clean and at the same time kills all the germs.

Answer 2

The milk soaked through the back of the carpet into the padding and possibly reached the floor. To get the smell out, you will need to really soak the area with cleaner so that it goes through the back of the carpet into the padding and to the floor. I have had good luck with a cleaner/deodorizer called Nature's Miracle that you can get at any good pet store and possibly Wal-Mart. You need to basically pour this into the area where the milk was spilled, making sure that the cleaner soaks into an area a bit larger than where the milk soaked in. Rub and push the cleaner well into the carpet - its going to be really wet. Allow to soak for at least 30 minutes to an hour or according to label directions. Then you can either suck the cleaner up with a wet/dry vacuum or the carpet cleaning machine or lots of towels.
