I was driving home & had the gallon of milk on the seat next to me and just ignored it when it fell on the floor. BIG MISTAKE! When I went to pick it up I saw that it had cracked and there was milk covering the passenger side floor! I scrubbed it right away w/ lysol and left the windows down over night and prayed! Needless to say I got in the car the next day and almost threw up! My step mom gave me something called "Odor Ban" (http://cleancontrol.com/OdoBanRetail/OdoBan_Odor_Eliminator.html ) to spray. So I sprayed a ton of it and I let that dry over night and the next day there was a little odor, but I sprayed it w/ Fabreeze and it's almost gone! So good luck to any one else w/ this problem!

I left a carton of milk out whilst on holiday, it exploded! My flat stinks and makes me feel sick being here, I'm not 100% sure where all the milk went, I'm desperate! Would a UV light show where the milk went?

My son had spilled my chocolate slim fast shake on my carpet. It was behind the couch so i did notice it until. There was a nasty smell, so it was there for a few days. I tried my carpet cleaner, then nature miracle. The pet enzyme stuff. It still has a horrible smell. I cant even be in my apartment because of the smell.

I spilled a chocolate Slim Fast Protein shake under the seat of my car when the temperature was over 95 degrees. The next day the smell was unthinkably nauseating. I immediately took it to a detail shop. The stains were gone, but the smell remained and made anything including the clothes I was wearing smell. I hope to try vinegar to remove the stink.

Try a product that is used for cat and dog accidents, it has a enzyme eater in it, and since milk has enzyme-- I would think that it should do the trick.

My hubby is a retired mechanic and he states most cars have plugs underneath them to drain water out. I would check to see if yours has one and bring to car wash for them to remove it. (02/14/2007)

So far elbow grease first (manual labor of wiping and scrubbing), sprinkled baking soda and let set for 15 minutes, then more elbow grease, then laundry detergent with some oxy-clean (laundry whitener) in cool water, more elbow grease. I'm waiting to see results. I think repeating all the above and final rinse with lemon juice may do the trick.
I had left a plastic 1/2 gallon of milk sit under back seat without my realizing it (in 90 Degree heat, needless to say it exploded all under the backseat) until we were ready to go on vacation on bike. I cleaned the best I could in short time I had. It had set for another week, now have I started my routine. I wrote above. Fine welcome home! (10/15/2007)

This happened to me in my Tahoe recently. First, I used an apple cider vinegar spray on the wet areas (dry up as much as possible) but finally I think just leaving the windows open to air dry the vehicle helped more than anything. It eventually went away but unfortunately took a few weeks. (10/20/2007)

I've used a product called Zorbx. Worked on the milk smell. (01/09/2008)

My sister spilled a latte in my car, as it's all milk the sour smell was awful. I tried a number of products to try and clean this and get rid of the smell. The only thing that worked was distilled vinegar. (03/05/2008)

My son spilt milk in our car last week and the smell is terrible - the car has a leather interior - would the diluted vinegar solution work on the problem?

Fire Department
Should all other ideas fail - take your vehicle to the fire department in your town. They have "stuff" there that they can use on your car that will get rid of any kind of bad smell you can think of. (FOR instance, persons who have died in the car and not found for a few days, they have "stuff" to clean that smell up and get it out! WHEW!
Good Luck! (09/18/2006)

I used diluted vinegar in my car to get rid of the milk smell. My car smelled like vinegar for approx. 2 days but after that there was no residual milk or vinegar smell! It did not stain or discolor my car's interior either. (08/28/2006)

Try dampening the area where the milk spilled and then sprinkling with fresh, unused coffee grounds and leave for at least a couple of hours (overnight would probably be better), then vacuum (or, for our UK friends, hoover) up the coffee grounds. (08/29/2006)

RE: Sour Milk Smell in Car
cat litter may help with the smell . You could try vinegar in water and sponge where the milk was . (08/30/2006)

Request: Spilt Sour Milk Smell in Car
How can I remove the strong odor of spilt milk from the carpet on the floor of the car? I have tried some products without success, and the smell is just getting worse

Enzyme Cleaner
Try saturating the area with an enzyme cleaner used for pet accidents. Buy it in a pet-store. The enzymes sort of "eat up" the organic matter. (11/06/2004)

Bicarbonate of Soda
My little girl spilt milk on her mattress.I got the smell out by scrubbing it with washing up liquid and water then covering it with a thick layer of bicarbonate of soda while it was still damp. I left it for 24 hours, hoovered it up dampened it again then repeated the bicarb. I did this for three days. The smell vanished! (04/19/2005)

Alcohol
I don't know how often this gets updated but anyways, yes is a awful smell, O tried everything, steam, 2 cans of carpet cleaner, nothing.
I used common biology 101 sense, milk stinks because bacteria is there decomposing, aka your own darn cheese factory under the carpet, so what I just did is soak that thing in alcohol since it won't bleach the fabric (hopefully) and will kill the bacteria, so far it is working. I just hope that when it dries it is not a whole different story. (11/22/2005)

Underlay and Ozone
I had to pull the underlay from my truck and replace it. Also as soon as that was done I went to my local car detail shop and had them put an "ozone machine" in my truck for two hours. This will deplete the car of all oxygen and any odors. It worked miracles, although it takes a couple of days for the ozone smell to leave. (07/06/2006)
