    Sulfur smell from Shower
    The master bath has a strong sulfur smell when we run the shower. When we use the other bathroom there is no smell. We isolated it to the shower drain.
    Thanks Deb

    Hi Deb,
    Most bad oders in bathroom drains come from rotting hair mixed with grease from the soap. Try this. Tonight before you go to bed pour 1/2 gallon of bleach down the shower drain and let it set overnight. Next morning flush it down with a few large pans of boiling water. The bleach will start to dissolve and soften the hair and make it slippery and the boiling water will melt the grease and flush the mess out into the main. Now see if that smelly drain doesn't smell sweeter? Hope this helps . Tom
