I don't know that milk is a stubborn stain, so anything that won't damage the fabric should clean it alright.

Also spray a can of scotch guard on all the fabric, it makes future cleaning much easier. Just remember to air out the vehicle after... the fumes are pretty toxic to kids.

when i worked at the dealership we used a 3M product that did an amazing job... it was red in color, i'll see if i can find out what it was... i think it was a degreaser... i'll double check though.

I would try lots of water spray and a lot of towels... Milk is water soluable, so you shouldn't get an oil stain.

Vinegar will dissolve calcium. Just dilute it some.. It shouldn't fade the fabric. Test a small area first.. Just that your car may smell like salad. Vinegar is good for your hair too.

How about club soda or just carbonated water? I works in getting some stains from dresses at weddings. Plus there's no salad smell afterwards And you can drink it after a hard minute's work
