My house smells like poop

hello H/A!
I have 2 dogs, (a labrador and a labradorXbernese Mountain Dog. in short, they are big dog) and for christmas we left them in their room while we were away (they just went to sleep a little earlier and we were home 1hour later from their normal "wake" time)
trouble is the labrador decided it was a good time to have diarrhea. and because we weren't right there, it took a couple of hour before we could clean it up. it has been 2 days and I still smell dog shit when I go upstair. we cleaned the dog beds, the floor, the dog(multiple times). I can still smell it. what can I do! I'm tired of wanting to throw up all the time
Thanks!

This. Always, always always clean pet stains - feces or urine - with an enzyme based cleaner, whether or not it was on carpet or hard surface. Follow the directions on the bottle. It takes care of smell and usually stain as well, although you can follow up with a steam clean or regular stain remover after the enzyme has done its thing. We actually bought a hand held steamer after our dog had a round of stomach upset that left lovely bile stains all over our cream colored rug, and it's done wonders.
As for enzyme cleaner, we use a brand called Simple Solution, and it takes care of anything. Even if you can mask the smell with the human nose, the dog will be able to smell their own waste, and might make a repeat accident in the same spot, which is why the special cleaners are important. All pet stores and most grocery/ discount stores should carry a comparable product.
I feel for you. Nothing can make a house reek like a dog with the shits.
Do you just mean a bowl of vinegar in the same room with the offending smell, or dumping a bowl of vinegar on the offending area? Honest question.
Edit: Sorry.. My cat apparently started liking to piss in the bathroom and bedroom (hah, litter box is in the bathroom, right NEXT to the bedroom!) And the smell will stay for days sometimes...
I'm not all read up on the various usages but there are plenty of references out there if you'd like better instructions.
Here's the stuff we use...

Has a retailer locator.
Failing that any Wal Mart or Target will stock pet stain/odor removers in their pet sections. Just make sure that the kind you get has the enzymes.
Actually. I lent my bottle out to a co-worker. He had the same problem. He said it worked real well.
I bought it at a large pet store. Petcetera, or maybe Petsmart. I dunno. They're all the same to me.
I can vouch for this stuff as well. We used it when the store was sold out of simple solution one time. worked just as well, but was a little more expensive.
This was my first thought as well. Smells don't linger forever unless something is generating them. Either there is still some shit or something isn't clean enough.
