Sterifab. Not sure where its from, do a google. I think that Chris from Spurgeons can get it ( bane importer ) but I don`t have any contact details. Did a lot of this type of clean up a while ago for Tesco. Faulty foil seals on the milk, hope this helps !! The stuffs awesome, Regards, Geoff

You could try an enzyme pre spray like chemspec Enz- all

enzymes love to digest protein, followed by a deodouriser such as Nemesis http://www.btowstore.com/epages/Store.sf/?ObjectPath=/Shops/15094/Products/NEM02a
First of all remove as much of the dried spill as possible and make sure products come into contact with all surfaces.

Depending on where it is you may need to fog it as the deodoriser etc needs to come in contact with the odour source.

Microclean is also a great product and may do the whole job for you providing that, as has already been said, it comes into contact with all contaminated surfaces and stays wet for a while.

Take the carpet out and either pressure wash it or hose it through thoroughly. This is a lot easier than trying to eradicate using chemicals. Some of the carpets have a sponge backing which holds the milk plus it gets into every nook and cranny of the metalwork. Once flushed use any suitable deodourser/microbiocide and thoroughly wash the carb surfaces as well.

What John has posted, is absolutely true. I was in the dairy business, many years ago and all vehicles were thoroughly steam cleaned, every day, otherwise they stank !!!!!!!!!!!!

Recently did a spill inside a car and had to resort, to removing, thoroughly cleaning both sides of carpeting and also removing all traces of splash marks.

What appeared to be a 10 minute job ( to the client ) took about 30 minutes, but the carpets still had to be dried.

Sorry, that should have read "car surfaces" not carb. Don't want you pouring deodouriser down the carburettor ;D
