[Shop-talk] Odor removal

[Karl Vacek]

Some time ago the wax ring went out in our upstairs toilet.  No evidence of 
the failure till I had to get into the plumbing wall below there.  Lovely 
mess of black mold and nasty gunk.  I cleaned everything up with successive 
applications of bleach-based cleaners, but there was still some nasty stuff 
and the copper pipes were green, so I followed up with hydrochloric 
(muriatic) acid.  It's clean, but there's still a lingering stench that 
wasn't there in the first place.  The acid itself did stink badly for a 
couple weeks but I think that's mostly gone now.

I've used Febreeze and an aerosol deodorant, but this needs serious help.

Suggestions?
