# How to Get Milk Off a Sofa
Milk contains proteins that can cause unsightly stains on a sofa. In addition to fabric discoloration, milk can quickly cause the upholstery to develop an unpleasant sour smell. If possible, deal with the spilled milk as soon as it happens. The longer milk sits on the sofa, the deeper it will sink into the sofa’s padding. This will also increase the likelihood of a smelly stain.
