Crying over spilt milk!

My son dropped a pint glass of milk on the stairs at the weekend during a power cut. I scrubbed the carpet as best I could, then sugar soaped the walls the next day. Once the power was back I used our Bissell carpet cleaner. There is a horrible smell of sour milk today so I’ve used the carpet cleaner again. Any tips on how to get rid of the smell 😫

Bicarbonate of soda should do it
