When I use my shower, it smells like onions - not rotten onions, just onions. I rent my place. It was probably built about 1940 and has not been updated. Does anyone know why this is and what I can do about it? Thanks!
Dude, close your bathroom door when you cook onions the night before! Trust me. I take it your on one floor and you also have one of the material curtains opposed to a vinyl one? Mine stinks after I've been frying up! Stick it in the washer and keep that door shut! Don't ask me why it happens coz I'm baffled! but it really bloody stinks, real strong!
Does your water come from a ground source? If so, and you don't get enough rain it can cause that onion smell. It happens a lot here and there's nothing you can do but wait it out.
POUR BAKING SODA IN THE DRAIN AND HEAT VINEGAR AND POUR IN IT. REMOVES ODORS AND SOMETIMES CLOGS. OR THERE IS A PRODUCT CALLED ODO-BAN, SAMS AND WALMARTS CARRY IT. HOPE THIS HELPS.
The odor is probably coming up from the shower drain. My shower has a round screen that collects hair from going down the drain. I recently cleaned out my drain by removing the screen, and still found chunks of hair inside the drain.
You just might have to clean out the drain. If it's impossible to do so, report the problem to your landlord and let him fix it. That's what you pay rent for.
