Two days ago, back from a Tesco trip, i noticed that the milk container was leaking as i was unloading the shopping, and about one cupful of milk was already spilled on the "carpet" on the boot. So I used some kitchen towls to dry it up. Next evening, i noticed a rotten milk smell developing in the boot, so out comes the sponge and bucket with soap gave the carpet a good scrubbing.
Today, the smell was still there, and has seeped into the rest of the car. Todays hot weather seems to have made it worse. Intially i thought that this was my fault becuase i didnt dry the carpet properly overnight after scrubbing. So I left the boot open, and its pretty dry now, but the smell just wont go away, an awfull smell of bad milk that lingers in the nostrills.
Has any one here had experience of how best to remove and get rid of this smell ? perhaps someone had spilled baby milk etc and has similar experience ?
