SMELLS

 I have been driven to the point of distraction over a smell that shows up every morning. I think it comes from the drain. It is a cross between rotten greens and perfume. I can understand the rotten greens as sometimes something slips down the drain, but once I clean out the drain it usually goes away. The mystery continued until C from next door said she has been putting bath bombs down the drain. Her place apparently smells divine. I am on the bottom of the apartment totem pole, do to speak. Every drain from the top floor falls down through mine then on out to the street. How do I know you ask? A couple of years back everything backed up into my kitchen sink. It took about a week to get the blockage out. It was at 55 feet out. That means it was almost at the street. I do not want a repeat of that, especially in the winter. I will flush it out with baking Soda and vinegar. If that fails I will put down some Draino. I am so thankful for all my neighbours, so will not rock the boat until I have tried everything. I am hoping once the water tests good again, maybe the smell will go away.
