Awful smell from living room

[Annnir]

Please help I’ve tried so far: washing carpet with carpet cleaner, washing the cushions, cleaning the sofas but there is still a horrible musty smell coming from there. Little one spilt milk on the carpet which I noticed 2 days after he did it so cleaned carpet with carpet cleaner then. Problem is I don’t know where the smell is coming from.

I had this after I spilled a latte in my car. No amount of washing, or fabreeze, would remove the smell. In the end I purchased a biological cleaner off Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/05HSrICO which finally removed the smell.

IT’S THE MILK!! I speak from experience- milk leaves behind bacteria which multiplies and causes the smell. Get a bottle of Rug Doctor Carpet Fresh, make sure it says enzyme cleaner on the bottle - sold in B&Q or other places that hire the carpet cleaners. Might take a couple of goes but it will work!

Is your under stairs cupboard aside your living room ?

Oh blimey, I didn’t see that milk had been split, yes that would do! Absolutely foul 😷😷😷😷

Yep - still convinced it’s the milk. People underestimate how awful it smells long after you think you have cleaned it
