Yup usually you kill mold with bleach but that will ruin your carpet. Get the carpet dried out and eventually it will stop smelling. Try Febreze or another fabric odor removal spray but that is going to make it wet again. Basically you’re out of luck, sorry.

This will work-It worked on my grand-babies bed.Spray with warm water (lightly) put white vinegar on the carpet area of spill.Let it sit for 45 minutes.Gently rub all moisture out.When dry-next day put 1 tsp baking soda on it.Leave it overnight.The smell will be long gone.Its the combination that will eliminate any odor.

Try placing a fan(so the fan blows) on the area that was wet so it can help dry up what is wet underneath the carpet. I would suggest you try what Tammy suggested because it isn’t going to hurt anything by doing so. Good Luck!!!
