Baking Soda<\/h3>\n<p>Baking soda is a natural adsorbent. It neutralises acidic compounds easily but it takes time to work.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda on your carpet.<\/li>\n<li>Let it sit overnight.<\/li>\n<li>Loosen the soda with a brush<\/li>\n<li>Vacuum thoroughly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Alternatively, you can opt for a baking soda solution.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mix in baking soda, warm water and a few drops of essential oil<\/li>\n<li>Make sure that you don\u2019t overpower the baking soda with the essential oil<\/li>\n<li>Spray the solution onto your carpet and let it sit overnight<\/li>\n<li>Vacuum thoroughly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>B. White Vinegar<\/h3>\n<p>Like baking soda, white vinegar is great at neutralising bad smells. However, this method is only effective after you have already gotten rid of the stain causing the milk smell.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pour in some white vinegar in a bowl.<\/li>\n<li>Place it near the source of the milk smell.<\/li>\n<li>Let it sit for at least 24 hours before removing it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can also use white vinegar directly on the affected area.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Note<\/strong>: White vinegar might bleach your carpet. Be sure to test the solution on a hidden spot before you spray it on the stain.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>Mix one part white vinegar and one part cold water.<\/li>\n<li>Spray it directly to the problem area.<\/li>\n<li>Let it sit for at least one hour<\/li>\n<li>Blot it up with a microfiber cloth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After a few days, the vinegar smell should disappear.<\/p>\n<h3>C. Coffee Grounds<\/h3>\n<p>Fresh, unused coffee grounds are great for deodorising and neutralising milk smell.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sprinkle fresh coffee grounds on the stain area<\/li>\n<li>Let it sit for at least an hour<\/li>\n<li>Vacuum thoroughly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Used coffee grounds can also serve as a natural air freshener.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put used coffee grounds in a sock and place it in a hidden spot. The grounds will absorb unwanted odours.<\/p>\n<h3>D. Cat Litter<\/h3>\n<p>Cat litter can help absorb any moisture that might be contributing to the milk smell. Simply place open containers of clean cat litter throughout the room.<\/p>\n<p>Change the litter regularly.<\/p>\n<h3>E. Commercial Enzymes<\/h3>\n<p>Commercial enzymes break down tough stains and odours. You can find enzyme products in your local store (usually in the pet or cleaning section).<\/p>\n<p>Always read the label carefully to minimise risks, as these products are highly concentrated.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanhousefast.co.uk\/how-to-get-candle-wax-out-of-carpet\/\">How To Get Candle Wax Out Of Carpet?<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Deep Clean Your Carpet<\/h2>\n<p>If the milk spill affected a large area, it can be hard to get rid of the smell completely.
