Try hydrogen peroxide or tonic water. Both work very well. ippi1
Things You’ll Need:
Towel
Water
White Vinegar
Baking Soda
enzyme odor remover
vacuum cleaner
fan or hair dryer
Step1
Blot up any remaining liquid with a towel.
Step2
Pour baking soda over the area where the milk was spilled.
Step3
Sprinkle cold water on top of the baking soda.
Step4
Let stand overnight.
Step5
Vacuum to remove baking soda.
Step6
If the smell remains, try treating the area with white vinegar. Let sit for 15 minutes, then blot excess vinegar with paper towels.
Step7
If vinegar fails to beat the stink, tackle it with an enzyme odor remover. These products use biological organisms that consume odors and can be found at stores that specialize in cleaning products.
Step8
Allow the area to dry completely: residual moisture can cause mildew. Use a hair dryer or fan if necessary, being careful not to scorch carpet fibers with a hair dryer.

If a substantial amount of milk has spilled and gone sour, or if the milk has soaked deeply into the seat or carpet, you may need to seek professional help sugar candy
If you have a wet/dry shopvac use that as an extactor… Get a bucket with warm soapy water. I use a little bit of laundry soap (2 tablespoons) and add acouple tablespoons of baking soda.. To get rid of the smell! *If you have a laundry pretreater give the area a spray and let it sit for 5-10 min. (test for colorfastness first) Saturate the area with warm sudsy water and work into carpet with a small brush or rag… Extract with wetdry shopvac…. ***Remember to remove the paper filter BEFORE extracting! Repeat if necessary… Rinse with a clean bucket of water and repeat….
*****If you don’t have a shopvac they aren’t expensive you can get one for around $50 and use it all around the house!
I’ve used mine to:
Unclog a toilet

Unclog bathtub/sink drains
Clean up garage, workroom
etc….
Good luck pebblespro
steam clean it , until you do pour some baking soda in it and let it sit , this will take away alot of the sour smell and then steam clean later or whenever Suma
You have to flush it as much as possible. Don’t rub it around. Try this, and repeat a couple times just to be sure. It’s the best thing I’ve ever used A B
