Can't get the smell out of dd's bedroom

[99redballoons]

Dh had to do some diy work in dd's bedroom, which involved lifting the carpet and cutting floor boards with some sort of saw/grinder. Even though the windows were wide open and I've aired the room every day since (this was last Sunday), her room still smells musty and 'smokey' (like a burnt match smell). There are no fumes in there, just the smell. I have frebreezed the curtains and most furniture was out of the room at the time(all except wardrobe). Hoovered everywhere. But the smell is still there.

How can I freshen the room up?

have you put the carpet back down? if so give it a good covering of bicarb of soda - it apparently absorbes the smell , leave a couple of hours or as long as poss and then hoover. Tried it myself when my ds was sick on the rug and it worked well - good luck!

Thanks for the ideas!!
