Milk spilt on a wooden floor

[Saisong]

DD has only just gone and dropped a full 4 pint carton of milk on the kitchen floor - which is a solid oak plank floor, lovingly laid by DH. Now it's all cleaned up is there any way that the whole kitchen is not going to stink of rotten milk for ever more? Does anyone have any tips on how we can stop that happening?

I can't even slosh lots of hot water soapy water about due to said wooden floor. In my defence it was not my choice to lay wood in the kitchen, but it has survived previous floods - only they were water.

No one even got similar tales of woe?

I've just finished hot washing all the soggy towels. And then the floor mats which got splashed. Given DD a big cuddle because accidents do happen.

Do you have a spray mop?

They're invaluable for wooden floors. You can still douse them in dettol but the volume of moisture is low so doesn't warp the wood, can also go over with a dry mop head (it's a strip of fabric that just velcros on and off) to dry it extra quickly.

Tbh though if you got it up quickly and the wood was properly sealed it'll probably be fine.

I don't have a spray mop, but do have a microfiber long handled wiper thing that is similar. We got it up as quick as possible, though DD spent time trying to use kitchen roll, before realising the futility against 4 pints and ran to get me in tears! Unfortunately I don't think the sealing is the best, as laid by DH, who is not an expert (though of course considers himself to be after watching a few YouTube videos). My biggest fear is that some has escaped between the planks and ous sitting there waiting to go rancid

Anyway you can sprinkle bicarbonate of soda or similar between the joins then leave for several hours and hoover up?

Thanks @TSSDNCOP I might try that - anything to avoid the smell of rancid milk.

I bought a cheap car once that the previous owner had spilt a pint of milk in the footwell. Despite extensive washin, every hot day it would develop the 'delicate' hum of rancid milk.
