Had a plumber come over who used Liquid Wrench in my bathroom.  I've
discovered an extreme(!) sensitivity that I have to the product.  I
called the company who makes it, and they suggested using Fabreze on
the affected areas.  The plumber came specially over to saturate all
the areas he sprayed with Fabreze.  I've sprayed the stuff everywhere.
 Seems better, but there is still remnants there.  You can't even
smell the stuff, but my lungs and throat pick it up just walking by
the bathroom.  I've also used Dawn everywhere as well.

One thing I haven't scrubbed down is the floor, but assuming that does
nothing, what is my recourse???

Scrub the floor down first, using a deck mop (it's a stiff brush on
the end of a mop handle), hot water, and Dawn, then thoroughly air it
out (I know it's not really the season for it, but open up all of the
windows and leave them open for a few hours.

That *should* take care of the problem for you.  We had the same
problem a few years ago - the landlord used Liquid Wrench in the front
bathroom, and my son suffered a horrible allergy attack after. 
Scrubbing everything down and thoroughly airing the bathroom out
solved the problem.

Good luck!

Febreeze wouldn't really be effective for that.  It's mainly just a
perfume, and I believe enzymes that help to break down biological
sources of odor.  It probably wouldn't work to break up a strong
chemical like drain cleaner.

Do you have a product over in the US called "Citro Clean"? It's a
natural cleaning product that uses Orange/Citrus oils as its active
ingredient and it's powerful stuff.

It's available at supermarkets and at health stores and even
pharmacies over here (Australia),and it might be worth looking around
your part of the world and seeing if there's anything similar. There
is nothing better for cutting grease, residual adhesive off stickers,
it even cut through the polyurethane sealer on my parquetry floor when
I was spot cleaning (which I wasn't too pleased about) but the point
I'm making is that it's a natural product that can cut through
chemical gunk and is less likely to cause problems. It might help
clean away any residue of this 'Liquid Wrench' stuff.

Just a quick comment to correct what bl00d-ga said. 

Febreze is not a enzyme based deodorant and does not cover odors
through use of perfumes. Without getting into the chemical details of
how it works (if you care about that, see the link below), I'll just
explain quickly what you need to know to use it effectively.

Febreze traps "smells" inside little donut-shaped molecules, thus
preventing them from becoming airborne and reaching your nose.
However, unless you actually remove those molecules, they are still
present wherever you spray the product. That's why when you use
Febreze on clothing you are suppose to hang the clothes outside after
spraying -- so the molecules fall off outdoors. Additionally, the
molucules tend to let go of the odors when they get wet -- an obvious
issue in your bathroom.

To get rid of the last remnants of odor trapped in the Febreze, you
could either wash it away as Missy suggests, (which is a good idea
anyway since the Liquid Wrench is oil-based and you need to get rid of
that, not just the smell) or you can give the bathroom a thorough
vacuuming. This will eliminate the Febreze molecules that have trapped
the Liquid Wrench odors.

Here's the article on Febreze, which coincidentally, I just read this
week.

Good luck with it!

According to the web page:
http://goliath.pcs.k12.mi.us/bldgrd/web/MSDS-GROUNDS/LIQUID_WRENCH.txt

the ingredients of liquid wrench are:
COLLOIDAL GRAPHITE
PERFUME OIL (TYPE NOT SPECIFIED)
PETROLEUM OIL
71-43-2 BENZENE (SARA III)

Based on my own (limited) medical knowledge, I'd guess that the
"perfume oil" is the most likely ingredient to cause an allergic
reaction (though the benzene won't do you any good).

I'd agree with the other posters, a good scrubbing with lots of soap
(or citrus cleaner) should take care of it.
