The duration for any odors, including chocolate milk, to dissipate from a rug after steam cleaning can vary based on several factors. Generally, complete drying and odor removal can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. Here are some factors that can influence this timeline:

1. **Type of Rug**: Different materials absorb moisture and odors differently. Synthetic fibers may dry faster than natural fibers like wool.

2. **Humidity and Temperature**: Higher humidity and cooler temperatures can slow down the drying process, potentially prolonging odors. Warmer, drier conditions help speed things up.

3. **Ventilation**: Good airflow can help in drying the rug more quickly and removing any lingering odors.

4. **Extent of Soiling**: If the chocolate milk stain was deep or widespread, it might take longer for the odor to fully dissipate.

5. **Effective Cleaning**: If the steam cleaning was thorough, the odors would likely dissipate faster. Sometimes, a second treatment may be required for persistent smells.

To expedite the process, ensure the rug is in a well-ventilated area, and consider using fans or dehumidifiers as needed. If the odor lingers despite the steam cleaning, you may want to try an additional cleaning method or an odor neutralizer specifically designed for carpets.

While it's difficult to provide a precise timeframe, typically, most odors from chocolate milk should start to dissipate within **24 to 48 hours** after steam cleaning, assuming proper drying conditions. In ideal circumstances, if the rug dries quickly and there’s good ventilation, you might notice a significant reduction in odor within just a few hours.

If after that time the odor persists, it could indicate that the stain wasn't fully removed or that residue remains. In that case, additional cleaning methods or treatments might be necessary.
