Treating Spilled Milk
Odors — In A Car Or In Your Home
Automotive milk
spills are treated no differently from those in a home, or from
pet "accidents." In general, extracting with a carpet cleaning
machine is always beneficial, but in some cases (where
the spill isn't too extensive) may not be necessary. The more
of the offending organic material you can remove, be it milk,
urine or whatever, the less there is for DooDoo Voodoo to have
to eradicate.
These guidelines
apply whether your spill is on upholstery (over foam padding) or
on the carpeted floor, but especially the former. Spills
on automotive carpeting don't require as deep a soaking, as
there's not so much foam padding underneath. (The oodles
of intricate cells that comprise foam rubber make it harder for
DooDoo Voodoo to snake its way into the deep recesses of the
foam to get at the deepest soiling.)
In either event,
thoroughly treating the area with DooDoo Voodoo (in a manner
that gets it in contact with *all* the spilled milk, even deep
down), letting it dwell (set in-place) for 30 minutes, then, if
possible, extracting it with a carpet cleaning machine would be
the preferred method. Then, treat the area with DooDoo Voodoo
again, with not quite as much of a soaking, and leave it. Let
it air dry completely, which can take a lot longer than
you might at first think, before doing a sniff test to see how
effective the first round was. If necessary, repeat, but most
users report that they don't have to. Some users, either those
with deeper infiltration or those who don't, in fact, treat
thoroughly enough in round one, may need to do more than two
treatments, but this is most often not necessary. I've
personally had experiences where one deep treatment was all that
was required, but other experiences where repeats were necessary
to fully eradicate the odor. The latter seem to be instances
where the organic material had been in-place for a longer period
of time, rather than recently deposited.
Repeating the
extraction with each round of treatment is always beneficial, as
I said before. It's up to you to determine whether you
think this is necessary in your particular case.
The biggest advice I
can give you is to allow the area to completely dry before
making a decision to (perhaps) re-treat. Too many customers
rush to judgment and re-treat before the area is fully dry.
This negates the portion of the cycle when the bulk of the odor
kill occurs, so don't fall into this trap. Remember: it's
common for the odor to get a lot better initially, then worse,
then better at the end of the drying cycle. Don't give up the
ship; let the product do its job.
Bacteria- and
enzyme-based products are not as effective as DooDoo Voodoo at
eradicating automotive spilled milk odors because the automotive
environment is too hostile for their temperamental nature.
I hope this info is
helpful to you as you attack the spilled milk odor. Many, many
customers have had 100% success with DooDoo Voodoo on their
spilled milk odors, and I'm expecting you to, too!
