Cleaning Milk Stain In Car

RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By Aubrey R (1) Contact Brought milk home from store on Monday and yesterday (Thursday) got in the car and it was unbearable!!!! I picked up a product this morning called "Natures Miracle" got it at PETCO. Spoke to a woman there and she said anything with enzymes in it would work and the products for cats have an extra boost. Note: Be sure to saturate the area, the key is to get it down deep enough to reach the milk, so if a whole gallon leaked then buy the gallon size. It says it takes a few weeks to dry and it smells a bit like rubbing alcohol but let me tell you, right after I poured it on the area the smell had cleared up by 90%. We will see how it goes as it dries, I'll keep you posted. Posted on 04/03/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By (Guest Post) Try vinegar. This really cuts through the sour smell. I used it on my carpet in the house and it worked.

By joe (Guest Post) Iwent to the store and bought 2 gal of milk, one of them slid underneath the very back seat of my suburban, and I didn't notice. Its been about a week, and I have discovered curdled, chunky, smelly pile of milk on the carpet! My life is over. Please help me get the smell out!

It has been professionally detailed and nothing has changed about the smell. It might be worse. I can barely drive this car it smells so disgusting. Please help. I will try the coffee beans tonight. Any other suggestions? Posted on 12/10/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By Harvey (Guest Post) My granddaughter spilled some milk on the rear seat of my car. I wasn't aware of it until a few days later because it went down the hole where the seat belts come out of and onto the mat that is between the bottom of the seat and the metal car floor. By then the smell was gross. I pulled out the rear seat and spread baking soda on the mat and let it sit overnight but it didn't help. A co-worker of my wife informed her that she had the same problem in the past and here's what always worked for her - Coffee Beans! Just spread coffee beans over the area and let it sit overnight. It smells great and absorbs all the sour smell. I spread coffee beans over the mat, replaced the seat on top of the beans and kept it there for three days and then vacuumed them up. It works. The car smells great. You have to use beans, not ground coffee. Editor's Note: Ground coffee also works well.

I finally found it and there was a slow drip of clear liquid from the container -- you can imagine the smell. I've tried carpet cleaner -- made it worse. I'll try Petzyme or Nature's Miracle tomorrow. I feel so stupid. Posted on 10/30/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By CHERYL (Guest Post) It is honestly the worse smell in the world. My new car now smells like stinky feet, wet dog, and a dirty dish rag . I have tried the steam cleaner, 3 times with baking soda, diluted vinegar and now straight white vinegar. The smell is still there. I ordered a product called SCOE 10X, and received today in the mail. I will let you know if it works. I have been told personally it will work by someone who has used it on spilled milk in his truck. I ordered it on line Sales@biofog.us. It came to $24.55 with S&H, it is worth it if it works. I will let you know.

The smell was downright gagging. I washed the carseat and that is ok, but now the smell will not leave my car! I've looked high and low for an actual stain in the car, not finding anything. Posted on 10/08/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By Margaret. (Guest Post) The same thing happened to me: exploded milk in my car. I read many of the posts and was getting very discouraged but tried the one that made the most sense. 1. of course, get up what you can, the curd. 2. pour generous amount of Petzyme, available at Petsmart. The one with the aqua label has best scent. 3. let it stay on for 10 minutes or so. 4. get a wet-vac and suck up all the dampness. I probably did this for 10 minutes. Most of the sour milk was on the carpet and I did not want any chance of mildew--so I wet-vacced for a long time. 5. I had a small clip on fan (7 in) that I was able to attach to a box in my car. I let this run overnight. 6. If it still smells, reapply Petzyme. and re vaccum. I promise it will work! I really thought I was going to have to sell the car, but this really, really worked. GOOD LUCK--BUT YOU MUST HAVE A WET-VAC. I got mine a Target for about 50.00. It is the small one. Don't forget to really rinse out the hose and the filter when done. Posted on 09/29/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By Rachel (Guest Post) I had the same thing happen. A whole gallon of milk exploded in the back of my van. I used a steam cleaner, Oxyclean, baking soda (which made the smell WORSE in my opinion). I just called a detail shop to see what they reccomended, and they told me to saturate the area really good with rubbing alcohol, rinse that out with the steam cleaner, then clean it again with plain water, making sure to get it really dry. We'll see if it works. Posted on 09/26/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By Jenny (Guest Post) I am so happy! I don't feel like such a dope! I also, had 1/2 a gallon of milk "spill". It was cracked, and on it's side, so I am sticking to this story (of it not being my fault)! (Yes, I am the one who put the milk in the car, and in a rush prob. put it down too hard, but ooh well!) It is the worst smell! I carpool kids and they are about the add to the smell with vomit! I again am so happy that I am not alone in this problem! I will pass this on to my husband! Posted on 09/24/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By Jessica (Guest Post) It has been a week since a gallon (the whole gallon) spilled in the rear floor board of my car. I found out immediately and scrubbed and rinsed with carpet cleaner, enzyme cleaner, windex, and febreeze. I have even put a carbon filter in there that is supposed to suck up all smells. It still smells like feet! I am afraid to use anything that would ruin the carpet or metal underneath. I need advice badly!

The smell was so bad I could smell it before I opened the door. I tried, vinegar, baking soda, pet cleaner. No luck. When I used each of these I SOAKED the area, let sit and then rinsed with water and shop vaced the water up. It still stunk! I then used a light solution of bleach and water (10:1) and it worked. I let it sit for a while and was aware that I might change the color of the carpet. at that point I didn't care since it smelt so bad. I also coated the whole carpet on in the back seat floor so it if faded it would all fade. It didn't fade and the smell is gone. This happened around a year ago. Bleach can change the color of your carpet. test first but it was better then spending 100's on new carpet. I found this site when I researched the first time. Good luck! I will never leave milk in the car again! I have also found that White vinegar and baking soda works well on carpet stains. It worked for me in a rental house better than the bought stuff. You sprinkle and brush in soda and then pour on vinigar. it bubbles but it's worked for me. I let it sit and then rinse and suck up water with shop vac. Posted on 04/11/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By Kimi (Guest Post) Update: After cleaning a milky-coffee spill with dishwashing detergent & water, then letting it dry (as I described in an earlier post), I opted for further ablutions with an protein-based enzyme solution other people mentioned using. I had to apply this twice before it got rid of the smell. Used a product called "Petzyme," which I thoroughly drenched the car carpet with, then allowed it to dry. Says on the packaging you should blot up the excess after 10+ minutes, but since the smell remained after the first time I used it, the second time I didn't blot up the excess, just let it soak in and dry over a two-day period. Left car windows open so it wouldn't mildew. Petzyme seems to come in two varieties -- I used the one with a green label, not the pink and purple label -- the latter has a revoltingly strong perfumey odor, whereas the green-labeled Petzyme smells a bit citrusy and more neutral. Incredibly, this stuff took care of the problem! Posted on 03/19/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By Kimi (Guest Post) Spilled very milky coffee in car but couldn't see exactly where it went, so I blotted up up the area with a small towel and went on my merry way. I thought maybe the damage wasn't too bad, but a few days later when I next used the car the milk had spoiled. Naturally, it was a huge mug of coffee and I'd only taken a couple of swigs. Today I attempted to clean the area with dish soap and hot water -- splashed on enough soapy water to be able to scrub it with a scrub brush, after which I repeatedly blotted up the resulting coffee-colored soup with damp wash cloths. This is actually the second time a milky coffee spill has occurred. I can't quite remember what I used in the clean-up phase last time, but in the odor-removal phase I used a product called "Odorzout," which is granules of a mineral called zeolite. After cleaning the area and allowing it to dry, you sprinkle on a layer of zeolite and leave for at least 24 hours, then vacuum it out. It got out about 75% of the odor, which came and went on a schedule of its own. I've made a list of everyone's solutions, which I'll be trying one by one until I get rid of the problem entirely. Kind of nice to know there are ten or twelve other people out there who've spilled milk in their cars. Posted on 03/13/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By mom to twins (Guest Post) I need help. I just bought a toyota van. I still have the temp tag. Somehow I left a gal of milk in the van and did not notice until a cool spell was gone and we got in and realized we had this awlful smell in the van. I immediately tried carpet cleaner with a steam cleaner. Then vinegar diluted with the steam cleaner twice. the second time with a much stronger dilution of vinegar. At first it seemed to work but the longer it sat, the more the oder came back. Any suggestions. Even though it looked as though it only leaked on the mat I cleaned the entire carpet but it still smells horribly. Any suggestions from here? "" Posted on 12/17/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By need it neat (Guest Post) I have one child with a lot a friends, cousins and animals. Use Oxy clean to get the stain out. try to do it right away if possible. To get the smell out use a product called Damp Rid, no special tricks just follow the directions on the box. It can be found cleaner department at your local Target or Walmart. A lot of auto stores carry it. I hope my advice helps.

I must have sinned in a previous life etc etc etc Posted on 06/13/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By G.B. (Guest Post) Well, i have a spilled milk stain in my house, but I am getting deperate, so I read this post. First of all, do NOT put baking soda in your car's carpet. I had a leak in my car roof last summer, and the carpet got wet and mildewed. I thought baking soda would do the trick, but now I have baking soda stains in the carpet ... it's all white and weird looking. I have had the carpet cleaned by a car detail shop, but the stains are still there. The good side of this is, we found the leak and put sealant on it, and my car isn't wet and smelly anymore! Secondly, vinegar? Deanna, I don't know how this worked for you. I thought of this with our spilled milk in the house. I know vinegar removes a lot of smells. So I poured vinegar directly on the milk stain and let it sit all day. Then I washed, scrubbed, used detergent and water ... you name it. NOW, our family room smells like VERY sour milk. Consider what happens to fresh milk when you put vinegar in it. Now consider what happens to a SOUR milk stain when you soak it in vinegar. My husband came home and said "Wow, the smell is worse!" So, I am at a standstill. I guess our 20 year old carpet has had it anyway, so maybe I'll just rub baking soda into the stain and hope that it doesn't turn too white. =) Editor's Note: The baking soda and vinegar should make some fizzing and the vinegar should remove the baking soda stain. I found out the hard way that putting baking soda on something wet doesn't work very well. One thing you could try when the stain is dry is borax. Rub that in, then vacuum out. It should help remove the smell.

I am dying of the noxious fumes that smell like a wet dog with stinky feet drinking a latte! I have tried scrubbing with carpet cleaner, but that only added another nauseating scent to the mix. I will try the white vinegar and baking soda solution suggested by so many! PRAY for me! Posted on 05/01/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By Anonymous (148) Blog! Contact To: CJ Your post is hilarious!! I love it. I was on my motorcycle one day and went by the store and picked up a gallon of milk, put it in my saddle bag (I have a Police Road King so it has hard bags). When I took the milk in the house I saw that the bottom was leaking a little bit so luckily I had a large enough container to pour it into. I didn't think about the milk sitting in the bottom of my saddle bag until several days later when my husband pulled it off to look at something on my bike. He asked me why the bag smelled like sour milk. We live in Florida and as you can imagine, the smell was really bad! I removed the bag, washed it out with soap, let it dry but the smell was still there. I used bleach and the smell didn't go away. I later remembered that white vinegar removes odors so I wiped the bag down with a vinegar soaked rag and left the rag in there for several days. The smell went away and now the bag smells like a fresh salad!! Just kidding. I swear by using vinegar. My husband thinks I'm nuts because last night I boiled two cups of white vinegar in a frying pan that always made food stick. I boiled it for ten minutes, cooked summer squash with a little olive oil and it never stuck to the pan. I'm glad I found out about that remedy because I paid $25.00 for the pan. The house smelled like a wine distillery for awhile but from what I read, vinegar also 'cleans' the air in your house.

Posted on 01/13/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Milk Stain In Car By Cracker Jack (Guest Post) The best thing to do at this point is one of the following two choices... 1. Become a drug smuggler - the milk will cover the dope smell, and the dogs will miss, and you are on your way to drop off your load. With the profits you will make you can now do the second choice... 2. Dump the car! Sell it, or trade it in, then buy you a brand "New Car Smell" vehicle. Just make sure that NO milk products are allowed inside the vehicle at anytime...PERIOD! Sour milk is a curse from the devil, put on this earth to drive perfectly healthy happy people "Stark Raving Mad"! It works very well. Seriously - Good luck.

In order to do this you may have to unscrew the trim and/or pull up the trim being held by clips. Once you've cleaned the insulation w/ a strong deodorizer cleaner leave the carpet w/ a gap and point a fan right on it. If that doesn't do the trick go rent an ionizer, that will pull the smell from anything.
