White vinegar's pretty effective but your car will smell like a bag of chips for a week or so afterwards.
Dilute about 1:4 with water (4 parts water) and soak the offending upholstery with it from a spray bottle. Leave for half a day (or overnight) then blot up any liquid you can with kitchen roll. Avoid the natural urge to sprinkle salt or add curry sauce to the area.0 -
What car is it?
I would be removing it and giving it a proper wash/dousing.
Assuming no electricals/airbags in the seat0 -
Valet Pro Enzyme Eater cleaner gets good reviews for dealing with milk. Would be worth a shot, and cheaper and easier than trying to get a non-smelly matching seat from a scrapyard.0

Try AutoGlym Odour Eliminator
(Not to be confused with their air-freshener which is a totally different product.)
Managed to get rid of baby puke smells - needed four applications at three day intervals though.0 -
