if your bathrooms smells like shittt.....

Please please please read and share. No your bathroom doesn't smell like shit cuz people piss in the urinal. No the ice doesn't help. More than likely your bathroom smells like shit because of a DRY P-Trap in your floor drain. Do yourself (and us) a favor and pour a bucket of water down the drain once a month.

Thank you,

A plumbing engineer 🫡

This also applies to apartments. Your water heater has a P-Trap under its emergency drain. Your apartment will smell like shittt 💩 if you don't water that sucker.

And also to offices. It took almost a month for the Janitor at my work to notice...

Excellent LPT 👏

Why does it empty once per month?

Evaporation. Once a month give or take. Depending on environmental conditions.
