Unfortunately, the mopping of the kitchen floor after the spilled gallon of milk as mentioned in my last post was just the beginning of the story. After I had blogged about the spilled milk incident, we discovered that not only had the milk covered the kitchen floor, it had also run under the wall and dripped down into the basement. So a few days after the initial incident, the stench in our house was strong. We threw out ceiling tiles and a chair that were milk soaked, rented a carpet cleaner, borrowed an air purifier, scrubbed, washed, and went through several boxes of baking soda in our attempt to rid ourselves of the milk...and its odor.
This year, my birthday and Mother's Day landed on the same day. Instead of a relaxing day of outdoorsy fun with my family, my day was spent helping my husband rid ourselves of the milk spill. It took some work, some time, and multiple cleanings, but I think it's gone. And now my children are never allowed to handle a full gallon of milk on their own again.
