i dont know about getting milk out.  i've injected milk into sofa's and mattresses before - revenge on idiots - and they've ended up throwing the whole thing away. 

On "How clean is your house" the other night, they were cleaning stains off of a mattress. They put it on it edge then scrubbed hard with some water and cleansing agent (not sure what). Having got rid of the stains they layed it flat again, put lots of towels over the wetted area, and bounced on top of it for a while getting as much of the moisture out as they could.
You can try sprinkling Borax on it, after slightly dampening the mattress, then allowing it to dry. It might not get rid of the stain, but it will get rid of the smell. I think you can get Borax in Boots.
Hope you are well shaz and that the job is going good.Don't post much in CB nowadays...well not at all !!!
After sponging and making sure it is dry sprinkle bi carbonate of soda and rubin.  Leave over night and vacuum.  I have had mild spilt in my car and managed to get rid of the smell like that.
