My kids spend quite a bit of time in our downstairs family room, often with bare feet, food and / or milk. Added to that, they've both been potty trained (with varying degrees of success) while we've had this rug. Despite daily vacuuming sessions, and using a steam cleaner for the accidents previously mentioned, I've noticed a distinct smell in the family room for the past few days. I'm thinking the likeliest culprit is spilled milk -- yuck.
First, I pushed the couches aside, removed the rug, and vacuumed / mopped the entire area. When that was dry, I put the carpet back and used the baking soda and peppermint essential oil mix (recipe: 1 cup baking soda and 4-5 drops of peppermint) described in the pin above.
Verdict: success at first, but fail in the long run.
