    Hi cookiemonster,

    Bicarbonate of soda is good at getting rid of smells.....although I'm not sure how well it would work on a wooden floor.

    Try mixing some bicarb with a little water to make a paste, 'paint' onto the floor and leave to dry. Once dry, hoover up the residue.

  • Guess what - white vinegar will shift that smell! Wouldn't you just know it :)

    Ive read on this board that someone gave the floorboards a lick of varnish,this seals the odour into the wood.
