if its teh side deesk taht runs all teh way around the office then you cant change that..

defumigate it... try spraying it with something open teh window and let it evaporate..

Your office is hot as it it anyway hopefully that shoudl help the process.

just try basic cleaning fluids and stuff like that and keep the window open, possibly try borrowing a fan if there arent any nearby windows, apart from that theres not much you can do until it leaves naturally

I have used washing up liquid on it and water and I have had my desk fan blowing on it most of the day..

its like MDF you see so its kinda soaked in a bit :s

ohhh :S

well the only other thing i can suggest is to just like use some sort of air freshener that doesnt smell but it gets rid of the bad smell that is there, im sure you've seen the 'oust' advert on TV

Chantelle was supposed to know all

Ok

Lubricant + Linx = worse than lubricant on its own.
