How to get rid of a rancid paint smell on walls

Question

I've just painted a bedroom and there's a horrible sour smell coming from the walls. The paint was bought a while ago. How long will this smell last? Do I have to get it off the wall?

It's hard to get the paint off the wall if it isn't nicely plastered room, plus if the paint properly soaked into the wall with the smell itself being embedded you will need to use sealing undercoat; watertight coat and then paint with the desired paint on top of this.

There are several ways of checking where the problem is coming from one is to have the wall checked for moisture, this is done by using a gauge there are several companies that will do this. Dampness in the cavity and brick work can often be the cause of horrible and unhygienic smells.
