Oil Smell Removal

    Hi all,

    I Had a small leak on the oil line to my stove and some oil has leaked/seeped into the next room floor (under timber floors) I have pulled up the timber and while there is no visible signs of oil I assume it has seeped into the foundation of the chimney that backs onto the stove( as that's where the smell seems to eminate from), the leak has been fixed by a plumber and all the piping replaced at the back of the stove.

    Does anyone one know of any solution or oil eating bacteria I can spray on the area to try to neutralise the smell?

    Many thanks

    DB

    Above have products that claim to do the job. I can't vouch for them as I have never used them.

    How much oil do you think you lost?

    I would be talking to my house insurance company, and have it assessed.
