How can I remove a sour milk smell from my carpet?
But all is not lost! First I’d hit it with your regular carpet cleaner and then let it dry. I’d bet money, though, that some of the smell with linger. After I used the cleaner, I’d do two things. This may sound nuts, but vinegar is amazing as a deodorizer. I’d spray it well with vinegar, and let it dry, then check it. I would then sprinkle the spot with baking soda and let it sit for a day or so, then vacuum it up and check it. Here’s the deal, though–you don’t know how much was spilled, or how deeply it “sank in.” you MAY need to go to a pet supply place and get one of the “pet odor” enzyme deodorizer products. They’re specifically used on “organic” smell-accidents, and some are designed for… shall we say “deep penetration?” At any rate, these are the steps I’d be taking under these circumstances! An alternative is to call a good professional carpet cleaning company and asking them. SOme of these places can re3ally work miracles. GOod luck! Sources: Personal experience with carpets
