Might want to give these a try Good Luck !
Air Fresheners/Deodorizers:
1) Place cloves, cinnamon sticks, allspice or other favorite scented spice in a pot of water , simmer for 1-2 hours
2) Put a few slices of leftover orange or lemon rinds in a pot of water, simmer for 1-2 hours
3) Place baking soda in an open container of your choice. Good for closets, refrigerators and other small enclosed spaces
4) 2-3 slices of white bread absorbs refrigerator odors
5) Place lemon slices in an open bowl in the kitchen
6) Lemon and baking soda spray:
Dissolve baking soda in 2 cups hot water, add lemon juice, pour into spray bottle, spray into air as air freshener
7) Place unscented kitty litter placed in bowls to absorb room odors
8) Vinegar in a cup or bowl rids rooms of odors
9) Charcoal placed in a bowl rids rooms of odors
10) Simply light a match for a few moments or burn a candle (scented or unscented). The flame from either will "eat-up" bad smelling gases in the air
11) Pour vanilla extract into a shallow dish and set in an out of the way place
12) Spin-Fresh Bathroom Deodorizer
Add a couple of drops of your favorite essential oil to the inside of the cardboard toilet tissue roll. With each turn, fragrance is released into the room.

A good dehumidifier is a holy cure-all when it comes to household odors!
Most stenches are vapor-based and come from (moist) things that are either rotting, moldy or deteriorating.
A high-powered multi-stage air cleaner works in any case, where it removes pollutants, germs, pet hair and even viruses, via an air filter, carbon filter, U-V lamp and in some cases, ionization. While air cleaners are much better, you'll be weighed down by the initial cost of the unit (anywhere from $200-$800)
and the hassle of maintaining filters, replacing lamps and whatnot, which can also be expensive.
Febreeze and candles are virtually useless for odor removal; one only eliminates the smell in the air (and not the source) and the other just masks the smell. Don't use them any more!

The first thing you have to do it a through cleanning and I mean everything walls, floors,carpet,blinds,furniture,,ceilings,light fixtures. Ive been in the cleanning business for over thirty years, If you start with a clean house and keep it clean you will have no odors, use strong cleanning products like bleach, ammonia, pine-sol. heres a little trick, put a basket of lemons in your kitchen,before placing them in take a fork and peirce a few on the top your kitchen will smell great

Good Question. I've alos got a problem, mine is specifically from my dog. General dog smell, and also he has peed down in the family room a few times, and I can't get rid of the smell either.
