Spilt 2 pints of milk in my car - it STINKS - any advice?

[Enid]

Apart from the advice given by my friend who says I have to get rid of the car

Any cleaning tips?

bicarbonate of soda - mix to a paste, spread on, leave to dry, hoover up.

If that fails, professional valet I think.

sorry, dumb question, is bicarbonate of soda the same as baking soda?

Um... I think so!

It smells like sick.

Had to drive back from London with windows open

Cod, do you live in/near Codford

Used to drive poast the sign to Codford when visiting inlaws... DH used to go to the disco there when he was a teenager.

In the Wallops?

Suprised you didn't smell me drive past

We had a sippy cup full of milk get lost under a seat in the car recently. When I eventually found it, a few weeks later, I tried to salvage the cup by washing it out. Big mistake. I almost puked the second I took the lid off because the smell was so bad. I threw it in the rubbish, but the whole kitchen smelled, even after I took the rubbish out.

So I can imagine the smell in your car ...

I did this once - took about a week for the smell to clear. I did attempt to clean it up with detergent and steam. After that, a daily dose of Febreeze seemed to do the trick.

Stopped off and bought Fabreze - made it worse. Now sick disguised with lemon bleach.

what will happen, will the milk remains just rot away leaving ...ta da...no smell, or will it stink forever

It doesn't stink forever, the smell does go.

oh thank god.

Will try the baking soda one, thanks soupy
