Cleaning Indoor/Outdoor Carpet

I spilled some fresh chicken broth (quite a bit) on the indoor/outdoor carpet outside my door. I cleaned it up, but it was a very hot day and now there is a rancid smell coming from the carpet. Does anyone have any tips on odor elimination? Any household remedies?

I would try shampooing it with Dawn dish soap. It will cut the grease.

Sprinkle baking soda over the area and over it with some newspaper. Leave it like that over night and the smell should be gone by the morning. If it remains try this process again. :)
