Hi all


My DGS has just spilt milk on my sofa. We blotted it and scrubbed with water and vanish. I am concerned that it will smell and I am considering getting some soda water to put on it.


Has anyone got any other helpful suggestions?


Thanks

    Possibly use a bio washing powder in some warm water to break down the proteins in the milk

    Bicarbonate will also absorb any smells- hopefully as you caught it pretty quick it will be fine :-)

    I used to have the same worry about my carpets (milk is wiped clean off furniture easily enough, but I'm never certain I am as thorough with fibres).

    Today our LO invented a new game: spin the bottle. She worked out that if she used a full bottle of milk and a table top the milk makes a pretty circular droplet pattern :o
