Actually if enzymes really are the problem baking in the sun *might* help instead of hurt. Enzymes are proteins and if they get overheated they change their physical shape and while chemically unchanged no longer function as enzymes. I also wasn't able to find any duckduckgo-accessible or wikipedia mention of egg yolk enzymes. That doesn't mean they don't exist. However there's a story from last August from some little one-horse town called Bend OR which suggests that sulphur may be the culprit, and gives some cleaning ideas as well. http://www.bendbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110814/NEWS0107/108140319/1159&;nav_category= Yours, David
