    Awful smell from shower drain,after each shower.
    Every time we take a shower, an awful smell comes up from the shower drain. We have tried everything... Drano, Mr.Plumber, Baking soda and vinegar overnight... I've tried using a hanger as you guys said to remove hair and soap scum. I can't get the hanger down far enough. What do we do now? It has become very worrisome for us. We just bought this house 3 years ago. The bathroom has been completely redone and I'm worried something might be wrong. This smell has only been happening for a few months. Please help!!

    Stop with the chemicals for now. You said you used vinegar and baking soda which is my all time favorite. Is the smell a sewer gas smell, like raw sewage?
