Try working some Arm & Hammer into the spill area. Let it set overnight and vacuum it out.

I assume you already tried to shampoo and blot up as much of the spill and that it has dried. If the smell is still there use A&H powder and sprinkle it on the area and work the powder into the carpet or upholstery and leave it for several hours. It will pull out any odor. Vacuum the powder out and the odor should be gone.

You can always mix A&H with warm water but it works quite well dry.
