In one area or all over, do you keep old people in it?

Use one of those vacuum cleaners that use water to clean the carpets, if the furniture was in there prior to you moving in, clean that. I got given a leather settee, and they had dogs, and the settee stunk, even though I smoke, and have little sense of smell, so Frebreeze that, and clean it..

And check for the dead body under the floorboards/in the loft.

You say you decorated it? There was an article on Watchdog recently about wallpaper paste giving an unpleasant smell off. Possibly due to a reaction between slightly damp walls, and the paper. I smelt that a thousand times and Anne Robinson is an idiot. Did it smell before it was decorated?

Do you wash daily?

If I were you i'd check for water in your sub floor.
