Bathroom Stinks!

As the title really. Bought a new house and the smell is pretty bad. Ripped out all the old carpet, toilet, bath etc and put down bi carb and talc but 4 weeks later it still stinks. 
I'm going to pull the floorboards up while I can, and possibly replace them, but what can I use to draw the smell out? I have the window constantly open while I'm there and I don't know what else to do.

What does it smell of?0

When we first got our dog as a puppy, we had a lot of trouble removing unwanted smells! I think if you use BIO washing powder, the enzymes in that are quite good for that sort of thing. Cheaper than a proper enzyme cleaner too.0

Your problem may lie under the floorboards.
A former rodent problem may have been solved in time for sale, but remain - if you see what I mean.
However, if it's the yellow stuff, see

Somewhere I heard the problem isn't the fluid but the fats therein (?) breaking down. If so, I suspect replacement is the only route.
All the very best!0
