Spoiled milk smell
I am trying to get rid of a spoiled milk smell on the interior rugs
1. I've tried those foam sprays at the local car care store
2. I've tried baking soda
So far it still smells
Thanks in advance for any tips

From another source...
First, if you do not have an extractor this will be very hard work, and perhaps impossible.
As with any odor, one must find and remove the source. Odds are good that the milk has seeped through the carpet (and pad?) to the metal of the body. Lift the carpet to check for moisture.
A deodorant/disinfectant is required (no, not bleach!). Microban, Herbicide, or ValuGard's Odor Terminator are all excellent choices. Once you've thoroughly cleaned and disinfected the affected area, dry thoroughly - this is mandatory! Now,mist the entire interior with the chosen disinfectant.

I was just working on the same thing on an SUV. Luckily it was in the back, and we were able to just pull up the carpet and remove the pad fairly easily. Otherwise...that smell would never have left I don't think. Then again...she spilled a venti latte and didn't do anything about it until she told me 10 days later!
