tbh what you need to do is fuck a fat girl vigorously for about 30-60 minutes while keeping the room above 75 degrees. That'll kill the "old house smell"

As some of you may know, I'm moving this summer. It's a nice bigger house and all, but my bedroom has that horrible "old house" smell of too many parties, old wallpaper and cat piss. As I won't have lots of stuff in here, I fear that my stuff will catch this smell instead of the room catching its smell.

So, what can I do to make the smell go away without tearing the place down?

That is no "old house smell", that is a "student house smell". Real "old house smell" is something I would not want to get rid off, it is epic.

To anwser your question: purge with cleansing fire! or if you have style, spray around a few bottles of Clive Christian No1

Rather than trying to mask the smells, use a deodorizer that removes the smell.

Neutrodol is a brand name over here, but no idea what you have over there.

smell=damp=mould=deadly spores entering your lungs...

Scrub the walls, air it out plus all the other sensible suggestions (of which there are only a few lol).

Mostly because of that thread where he showed pictures of his room ... after seeing that, you really wouldn't be surprised. You couldn't see the floor.

Step 1) Punch hole in wall.
Step 2) Shit in hole.
Step 3) Repeat.

If its an old house its probably got damp here and there which is main cause of smells. If the house is ventilated properly then things such as cat piss should dissipate.
Give the place a good clean then rent a dehumidifier and stick it in the house for a weeks or so. Old houses are badly ventilated that's why they stink, moisture can't get away. Check your windows and make sure they have trickle vents. If they don't and the windows are timber, drill some in the frames. They only need to be 4mm dia. Also, if the house has wooden floors on battens(not laid onto a conc floor), check the external vents which vent these floors for obstructions.
Basically, you don't want to be just covering up the smell. You need to tackle its root cause.
Check your gutters and make sure they are clear. Your roof is vented just above the gutter and if they are obstructed wind can blow water through this vent and down the inside of your wall which can then bridge across a stud/noggin on wall tie (depending on the construction methods) and give you damp.

If you need any more detailed advise. PM me.
