How to clean milk stains from carpet

1. Try to clean the milk up as quickly as you can after the spill with a plain white cloth or  plain white paper towel(s).

2. Flush the area with water and then extract the water. Repeat as needed, this is the basic method of removing milk from carpet.

3. If the milk has long since dried, scrape out any chunks and flakes using the edge of a teaspoon. Then use the following procedure for both this and fresh spills.

4. Make a mix of dish washing detergent and water (1/8 teaspoon in two cups of warm water). Use a spray bottle if you have one, and apply this mixture numerous times, letting it soak in a bit before blotting it up each time using white paper towels or a white cotton cloth, or sucking it out with a wet/dry vacuum cleaner.

5. If you don't get all the milk out, you might have an odour problem. A carpet freshener or baking soda may help. If not, you may need to resort to a professional carpet cleaner.

6. Put your nose close to the spot a few days later to see if there is any remaining odour.
