How to Get a Sour Milk Smell out of Wood Floors
Wipe up a milk spill while it's fresh to avoid the sour milk odor. If the milk has been absorbed into the wood and nothing else works to get rid of the stain or odor, lay a cloth dampened with hydrogen peroxide over the area. Leave the cloth in place for at least one hour. Clean the wood with an appropriate cleaner and allow it to dry. Touch-up the finish if it's been lightened by the peroxide.
