put warm water on the yolk it will make a mess but it will remove the sticky ness
Thanks all for the great suggestions, I really appreciate it!! Yolk is tough, but finally with a combination of your suggestions, it's gone.
I would not use acetone or steam on a wood floor; acetone could really affect the finish and steam could cause the wood to expand in an undesirable way. Do you think some egg seeped into the grooves between the boards? You could try sweeping/pressing baking soda into the grooves and then vacuuming? My husband swears by febreze, but egg is tough. Good luck!
Per Mr_Vittles, vinegar can be a secret weapon for all kinds of clean up. But I'll have to try Murphy's if I ever break a pasta well.

Trader Joe's lemon soap in a dispenser takes the smell out of anything!
Spray the area with a solution of white vinegar and water probably 1 tsp to every cup.
Can you steam? We got a steam cleaner for our tile, maybe it would work on wood too - I LOVE it. Eureka Enviro steamer
To get rid of the eggy funk, cold soapy water always works for me.
careful with acetone, it can soften the finish on your floor...
murpheys oil soap works really well, it has a very clean smell and makes hard wood floors shine. But otherwise you could use a nail polish remover that has acetone in it, acetone quickly removes any organics, just make sure to rinse with water after.
As eggs are one of the common household items, they tend to leave their odour on tabletops, refrigerator shelves and floors. The smell which is left behind will never leave your home for days if you leave it unattended in kitchen. The best ways to get rid of the egg smell in your home is with the help of natural ways.
It is believed that decaying smell of the egg is due to the production of the chemical gas hydrogen sulfide when bacteria breaks down the sulfates in the egg into
organic matter in the absence of oxygen.
But you need not worry.
