Posted on 09/05/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Smelly Bathroom Sink Drain By Michelle (Guest Post) My bathroom sink was clogged and after I plunged it a horrible smell (like rotten eggs) came from my drain. What could this be and how do I get rid of it? Posted on 12/02/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Smelly Bathroom Sink Drain By cookwie (1260) Profile Contact Try the baking soda suggestion. My kitchen drain does that every few years. Judicious amounts of baking soda and hot water in a couple of doses over a few days usually solve it. Am guessing I use 2 boxes of baking soda in the process. Posted on 04/16/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Smelly Bathroom Sink Drain By sandy63 (489) Profile Blog! Contact Hi. Sandy from Baltimore here. I live in a condo. So can't go up on roof. The drain plug is attached to itself, so I have to have someone come and unhook that as I cant get on floor. I will try vinegar and baking soda.

I only have one from the main sewer pipe and it 's a long way from my sink so I get the smell too. The only solution seems to be to put in another vent pipe.

Maybe yours is blocked? Doesn't hurt to make sure anyways! Posted on 04/15/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Smelly Bathroom Sink Drain By MCW (1009) Profile Blog! Contact We've had the same problem with our bathroom sink. It smells horrible because of the toothpaste, soap, shaving cream etc. that goes down the drain. You might have to remove the trap at the bottom of the sink and clean that well and don't forget to clean out the pipe that runs out to the sewer which protrudes out from the wall. My husband and I have removed black slimy stinking sludge that would make you gag. Clean out all that crap using an old damp rag if the baking soda, vinegar and hot water doesn't take care of the problem.

Pour hot water over this and do bi-monthly until you notice a change. Then you should be ok for about two months. It's a bubbly activated cleaner that really works safely.

If your trap has just gone try, running water in it (a few cups) daily should cure that. Posted on 04/14/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
