My four year old son spilled chocolate milk in the back seat of my car. I soaked up the milk as soon as it happened (or so I thought), but a few days later my car began to STINK! After trying a carpet cleaner with a scubbie top, thinking it was just on the upholstery with no results, I finally took out the back seat of my car to find that the cushion/foam that the seat is made of is growing mold and covered with dried chocolate milk. Any suggestions to help get rid of the smell?? My car is a lease and I MUST get this taken care of! I did try saturating the seat with Kids N’ Pets cleaner and it is sitting outside drying, but last I checked it still smells… HELP!!
In my opinion I would try a steam cleaner that has an uphoulstry attachment and steam clean the seat, top and bottom including the foam. Cleaner and hot water with a steam cleaner should do the trick by ridding it of the milk and mold, and the heat will kill the odor causing bacteria.

Take your car to a specialist who deals in cleaning and detailing cars. A really good detailer can get that smell and mold out of your car.

The smell will go away over time.
If you don’t have the time to spare, go to some local car detailing shops and ask what they charge to clean and if they can guaranty to get rid of the smell.
You can always try and drowned the smell out with another, buy some car air fresheners.
