Long story short: sometime yesterday morning, and unbeknownst to me, Gracie threw up her oceanfish & tuna wet-food breakfast under a chair in my bedroom. I'd had the windows open all day/night, and we live a couple of blocks from a fish & chips place, so I *thought* the fishy smell was coming from the restaurant (which sometimes happens if the wind blows in a certain direction).
This morning, and after a restless and smelly night of thinking "WHY is that restaurant STILL frying fish at 1am?!?", I found the now-dried vomit patch (me: "OMG. DUH! THAT'S why the room stank!") and cleaned it up... but, hoo-boy, having a fishy throw-up sit unattended for a day = the smell does NOT want to come out the laminate floors today.
I've already tried hot water + vinegar + dish soap (washed the floor several times with this and it helped, but there is still a lingering fishiness); baking soda (let it sit for an hour, no difference); Nature's Miracle enzymatic cleaner (which works wonders on litter-box odours but, apparently, not so much on fish); and regular all-purpose cleaner (minimal effect).
Does anyone have any miracle solutions that might work and finally get RID of this stink? I have a sensitive nose, and I don't want a bedroom that smells like it was once a fish market.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
