is it mold odor, or...?  In the past I've had to deal with cat pee 
damaged walls/floors - what I couldn't cut out I normally used Nature's 
miracle on for a while (like cover it with plastic so it stays wet) 
and/or kilzed it to seal the odor in.  I also got to deal with a minor 
mold issue in my dad's house when we were prepping it for sale.  they 
would kill the mold with the method du jour, maybe wash that off (not 
sure on that), seal it with kilz and call it good. As usual, please 
research this further if this sounds like a possibility - I am not a 
mold remediator guy or play one on tv, so....

Good Luck,

rkg
