Removing milk smell in interior (Help)

i own a detail shop and best thing i would do is , pull the carpet out, take it to a car wash and pressure wash it, dont put it back in until is 100% dry or you'll have another smell to get rid of. clean the floor with a good cleaner and spray lysol on it. good luck

 

From personal experiance I can vouch for Baking powder and Vinegar.

Spread the baking powder on the affected area and leave for an hour to soak up the moisture. Hoover it up and reapply. Do this a few times.

Then mix a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar and spray on the affected area.

This will smell worse than the milk but when it dries the smell goes. The good thing about vinegar is that it kills the microbes in the milk so the smell doesnt come back when the carpet gets warm.

You might have to repeat the vinegar step a few times but it does work.

How do I know...

So Many complicated, wrong answers...The CORRECT answer to all of the below and pobably most of the others is:

JOIN THE FOREIGN LEGION. There. Put that in the tech files. Done.

"...4 kids under 5 that get car sick pulling off the drive way...."

"Me and a different buddy are leaving a bar and he decides he has to puke. Only trouble is... he doesn't bother to tell me."

"i used to have the same smell in my jeep then i divorced her..."

"I have kangroo in my car!!"

"my wife is about to kill me..."

"...a few years ago my inlaws were nice..."

 

The guy who suggested pulling the interior got it right IMHO . I had an (OT) car whose PO just soaked the spills with febreze. The febreze smell was more than I could take. I pulled the seats and carpet and washed them at a car wash. Washed and rinsed until the dirty water ran clear. I was lucky-- it was 100 degrees that day so drying wasn't a problem. Cleaned the interior metal while the carpet and seats dried.

It doesn't really take very long to pull the seats out. If the seats are okay, you could even put them back in and drive the thing while tending to the carpet. Also, on some late model cars there's a lot of wiring under the carpet that you don't want to get wet.

My 2 cents

 

It's a good thing it wasn't mother's milk or you would REALLY have some explaining to do

 

Has anyone else noticed that this thread is 3 yrs old? The car has probably been replaced by now.

 

Or eaten by maggots.

 

Boy a stain THAT old will never come out
