When I worked as a street cop and had to get dead body funk out of my trunk, I dumped a shitload of baking soda on it, brushed it into the carpet, let sit as long as possible (preferably a day or more), and vacuumed it up. But, you say you wanna knock it out quick. Give it a shot, I never tried it over a shorter period of time, so it may work.....plus it's cheap and easy.

Try spritzing some vinegar on the affected areas. It kills any odor I throw it on pretty well.

Massive quantities of baking soda for the win!
Leave on the spot for as long as possible. |

Took almost a year to get the smell out of my wife's car when a gallon of milk let go... we wet vac'ed 100 times it seemed and hit with all kinds of stuff. In hindsight, should have just spent the $700 they wanted to replace the carpet... good luck.

You need to soak it in vinegar to kill the bacteria or the smell will just be covered up

Might want to try one of the ozone generators as well, once you clean that carpet 100 times. Some detail shops have one they will rent out.

There is an enzyme based carpet cleaner called Folex. Soak it with that and then vacuum it up at the local car wash. The enzymes will neutralize the funk and then vacuum will lift it all from your carpet.

I second the ozone generator. Environmental cleanup companies, the kind you call for actual dead body removal, will have them in the size needed for a vehicle. If you have the source of the stink removed, but need the smell out of the upholstery, seats, headliner, etc., then ozone is what you need.
If you can rent one, it's as simple as plugging it in and running it inside the closed vehicle for several hours. If you have to hire someone, it'll be a little more costly, but it'll remove ALL organic odors. Make sure you run the HVAC in the vehicle on recirculate, so it cleans the smell out of the vents, and consider changing the cabin filter first. |

I have used Hydrogen Peroixde on terrible smells/stains on carpets and padding.
Get a few cheap bottles (1.50 ish) and soak the area. let it dry. (Depending on the color I would test an area first.) It breaks chemical bonds so it should destroy the soured milk at an organic level. |

I have used hydrogen peroxide & baking soda to great success cleaning the odor of skunk from my dogs.
