Oh, dear. At least it wasn't rotten eggs -- those are even worse!
First, make sure you cleaned *everything* up. Get an old toothbrush and scrub the rubber gasket and any crannies. Soak the shelves in the bathtub, maybe with a little bleach. Look under the fridge, and make sure that's completely clean. Check out the garbage can -- did some of the mess leak out of the trash bag into there?
Once you are sure it's all clean, put a box of baking soda in the fridge -- you can also clean up with baking soda, and it will help neutralize the smell. Another thing to try is vinegar.
I don't know what to say if it got into the carpet, except try dabbing it with vinegar, let it dry completely, pour some baking soda on top, let it sit overnight then vacuum.
Good luck!
Lysol air freshener. Good job with the milk. I gotta give you credit its pretty funny.

Clean out your fridge with bleach..then spray your room with freebreeze and make sure you open all your bedroom windows.

if all the above remedies are not fine then do one thing..
if that is a rented house then run out ,if its your own then sail it...i did the former...ha haa
Rent an ozone machine from your local rental store. The source of the odor must be removed first, which probably means ditching the frige.
Remember to remove and discard any furnace filters prior to running the machine, as the odor will be in them also. And also be sure to open all closet doors so the ozone can enter those areas and get rid of any odor in clothing, etc.
It may take quite awhile to eliminate the odor ... depends on the room size, the ozone machine capabilities and the odor.
You may have to run the machine for 24-hours and you do not need to be in the house when it's running. After it has been used, open windows to vent the ozone before staying in there for any length of time.
Pour vinegar around and turn a fan on til it dries.
First of all, fill that fridge up with a large bowl of baking soda. Next, fill a pan half way with water and bring to a boil. Add cinnamon, apple pie spice, cloves, and turn it down to low and simmer for a while. Third, treat yourself to a fresh jug of milk!
