Smelly paint - room smells of BO

I painted a room with Dulux white paint and after a few days it stunk of BO. I thought it was myself at first but nope, it’s the room. It’s bad today because I guess of the good weather.

I have someone moving into my spare room in a few days, what can I do to remove the smell? I can’t only find cat urine smells on Google. 

Of to Asda to buy onion, vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, air freshener....

    It normal, you just need to air the room. Hot weather adds to the smell, I guess the smell bit like a pair of stinky trainers.
  • Really? Oh right I’ve never experienced it before. I’ve put vinegar and bicarbonate of soda and it’s helped.
