Why Does Your Toilet Stink and What to Do About It?

Warm lights, indoor plants by the mirror, and a fragrant candle with a flickering flame can upgrade your bathroom’s look. They instantly give your bathroom a luxury feel and take your experience up several notches! And if you’ve invested in renovating your bathroom, it creates the perfect ambiance for the mood you’re trying to set.

But if the toilet bowl is unclean or the drains are clogged, no fragrance can compensate for it. A stinky bathroom needs to be cleaned, not doused with fragrances. That will only overwhelm your olfactory senses and make the atmosphere even more unpleasant.

There can be many reasons why your bathroom stinks. Let’s look at those.

Sulfur Smell

It’s common for toilets to emit a sulfur smell when bacterial growth is present inside the drainpipes or the toilet bowl. You may not realize that it’s sulfur if you don’t recognize its smell, but if your toilet smells like rotten eggs, that’s what it is.

 You might need to change your drainage tactics, and if the problem persists, call plumbers to clean your drains. It might be more than one pipe infested with bacterial growth and releasing that odd stench.

Disinfecting the drains will eliminate the odor, but you must ensure it doesn’t happen again. It occurs when the species haven’t been appropriately drained and flushed out of the pipes. Using trackless toilet flush sheets can make the waste flow through the pipes easier without clogging or getting stuck anywhere.

Sewage Smell

If you’ve always associated toilets with the smell of sewage, you’re normalizing a fault line that shouldn’t exist. If your drains are working correctly, it’s not normal for toilets to exude the sewer stench. The p-trap is responsible for keeping the sewer gases sealed underwater. But if there is insufficient water, the gases can escape and enter the house.

It can also happen if there’s an underground leak in the drain pipes. This can be a direct consequence of waste building up inside the pipes and causing pressure on the walls that eventually burst. You can reduce the chances of this by using trackless toilet flush sheets that disintegrate within 22 minutes and wash away all waste.

Use Trackless Toilet Flush Sheets

These sheets are made from a water-soluble material that can disintegrate within 22 minutes. When placed in the toilet bowl before use, it effectively flushes out the waste without leaving behind any tracks. It’s designed to wrap around any form of feces and freely flow through the drainpipes into the main drain. This minimizes the chances of clogs and bad smells while keeping your toilet squeaky clean and smelling fresh.
