Milk has a very peculiar smell on the carpet, especially if the milk has been allowed to sour. To get the milk smell out of carpet fibres, you have to completely remove all milk on carpet surfaces to get rid of the odour that has attached to the fibres.
You can sometimes achieve this if you vacuum the area thoroughly, but more often than not, getting rid of the milk smell will require a powerful will require a strong, and effective cleaner. Professional carpet cleaning solutions such as 1001 Carpet Care Stain Removers and Fresheners have experience with milk stains specifically and can eliminate the odours completely.
If the smell is too unpleasant, you can consider using the Carpet Mousse over the stain and allowing it to sit for some time. Simply vacuum up the carpet next and see the smell vanish like it wasn’t even there!
