    Your dryer exhausts air to the outside so it pulls air into the home via the easiest route. I think you have a dry floor drain or a bad wax ring under the toilet. Both will allow sewer gas to enter the home.

    I have had both toilet wax rings replaced and also both sink traps check and are OK,dryer is vented out the side all where it sets not the wall where small rest room is where getting the smell
