This vestibule leads into my garden apartment in a major city. I guess I left it unlocked one night and came home to two unhoused men lying about. They left without incident, leaving some clothing behind. It took me 2 days to gain the courage to go back in there and clear out the clothes, but it’s been weeks and NOTHING I do even reduces the stench. It’s vomit inducing.

I’ve cleared it out of everything that was there with the men, I’ve wiped everything down with a white vinegar mix, and I’ve left it open for 8 hours with a fan to try to air it out. The smell is still as strong as it was on day one.

I plan on doing a few layers of a fine, bleach mist tomorrow while leaving the front open. But if that doesn’t work, is there anything I can do about the smell short of replacing the drywall?
