We purchased our house about a year ago and since we have moved in we have had a sulfur "rotten egg" smell in the shower of one bathroom. All other areas are fine. We turned up the hot water heater temperature and that helped although it is still there.

In the last few weeks I have noticed on several occasions a methane smell in the bedroom cedar closet that is on the other side of the shower. Do you think these smells are connected? Any ideas as to what they might be?

Thanks!

Most bad shower smells are caused by rotting hair matted with grease from the soap. Try this. Tonight before you go to bed pour 1/2" gallon of bleach down the drain. Next morning flush the bleach out with, (and this is important) two large pans of boiling water. The bleach will start to dissolve the hair and the boiling water will melt the grease and flush the mess out. Good luck, Tom
