Best way to remove milk stain and odour from a carpet?
Question:The spill was a couple of days ago and it's now a bit whiffy..
Many thanks.
Answers:
It sounds as if the spill soaked all the way through to your pad. Pulling it up would be the best situation, but I doubt you want to do that. Cleaning the spill that is soaked through is waist of time as you might no by now; because it will continue to come back. You can go to a pet supply store and purchase a pet neutralizer and spay on the spot to kill the smell, but it will never really be clean. I hope this helps.
You sure its milk.
Milk Stain and Odor Removal from Carpet
You may have noticed a couple of days after cleaning carpet stains such as milk, the spots come back. This may be due to wicking. Wicking happens when the carpet becomes saturated and the liquid pools at the bottom. After a while, it starts to work it's way back up through the fibers making the stain reappear on your carpet. It is extremely difficult to remove all of the liquid from the carpet fibers, carpet backing and padding underneath, thereby creating ideal conditions for bacteria and mold growth (and thus malodors). However, you might not be ready to replace your carpet just yet, so here are a few things you can do to eliminate the carpet odor. When you first begin to remove carpet stains, blot up as much of the liquid as possible with an absorbent white cloth. Place another thick cloth on the carpet and weigh down with something heavy so all of the liquid is absorbed. When that's done, go ahead and sanitize the area. The newest technology uses peroxide and detergents to penetrate the soiled area and deactivate the odor. Simply spray a product such as Bio-OX Citrus Concentrate on the soiled area, which will penetrate into the carpet. Allow Bio-OX to penetrate for approximately five minutes. Using a clean white absorbent cloth, blot the area, pressing down firmly (do not rub) for 30 seconds. Repeat this blotting process until the area is dry. If the stain or odor persists, repeat the process. You can also use baking soda to eliminate surface (but not deeply penetrated) odors. Dampen the area with clean water and then sprinkle baking soda over it. Rub the baking soda into the soiled area and let dry; brush or vacuum to remove the dry material.
Good Luck! =)
The best way would be to rent or borrow a carpet cleaner. The carpet cleaner will shoot a cleaning solution into the carpet and then suck up both the cleaning solution and the milk stain. Your carpet should be nice and clean after that.
dab up with paper towel then deodorise with bicarbonate of soda
rubbing alcholol works great!
try white vinegar
