Smelly spilt milk...

Sprinkle bicarb directly onto the spilt milk.It works brilliantly on carpets that have been puked on (sorry). Hoover it up a couple of hours later.

From answerban<<Good old vinegar. Stand a bowl of vinegar in the affected area overnight and the smell will have gone the next day. I know it worked when I spilled milk in may car, it may take a little longer in the home.>>

We never managed to banish the smell in our car either, and eventually ridded ourself of it only by selling the car. Years ago, an enraged milkman decided that he'd been cut up by my husband at the bottom of our road, and got out of his float and chucked a pint of milk through the (closed) driver's side rear window. Lovely.

These days I'm a bit wiser though. As well as actually reporting Manic Milkman, I'd try sprinklingly the affected area with bicarb and hope that it absorbs the milk and the smell. I don't think it would have much effect after the milk has dried though, but you never know.

You've got my sympathies. Milk's probably one of the few things you can stick in a car that smells even worse than those Tree 'fresheners'. Yuk.

I scrubbed my car seat with a strong vinegar & water solution when I'd spilt milk on it, then swabbed it off as much as I could and sprinkled a thick layer of bicarb over it. I left it for a couple of days to dry and then vacuumed off the bicarb. It worked, as far as the bad milk smell went, but it did leave a slight mark. (The vinegar smell went after about a week as well!)

This will work trust me. Buy a couple of packs of "Odour Eaters" made for sweaty trainers and put them onn top of the carpet then cover with a mat or tea towel. Then forget about it for a couple of days. They are made from charcol and that is the most odour absorbing material you can get.

Hello

Think this is quite a common problem with little ones - I just make sure I move house frequently :rotfl: . But my grandmother swears by bicarbonate of soda for anything smelly - just sprinkle it on and hoover off a few times - might be worth a try as unlikely to make it any worse!

Good luck

I had the same problem when I spilt milk in my car. Neutradol Powder really helped to get rid of the smell.

Just did a bit of a google search for you and came up with the following:

Not sure what "Motstenbocker's Lift Off" (?!?!) is but it might be worth investigating the "Old Method" a bit further down the page...?!;)

Good luck - fingers crossed it works for you...:o
