We have a whole house filter so I take out the cartridge, pour in about 2 cups of bleach, put the cannister back on and then run water through the smelly tap until the bleach smell is gone. Flush the other taps as well after that. Seems to last about 6 months before we have to do it again. The only thing that has worked for us is running bleach through the pipes.

We had a new faucet installed 8 months ago. We never had this problem before. It is only on this faucet, cold water only. Plumber has replaced water supply line but this did not fix the problem. Help. We are having the same problem. We had a new faucet installed 8 months ago. We never had this problem before. It is only on this faucet, cold water only.

The overflow portion of your bathroom sink has some interesting things growing in it. For some reason this only happens in one of our bathrooms, but it can stink up nearly the whole first floor. I've poured bleach in the overflow hole with some success, but I think the best solution was using a foam bathroom cleaner (with bleach). This method gets better coverage of all the gunked up areas. I hope this helps. I realize your post was a few months ago, but I think I know what it might be. The overflow portion of your bathroom sink has some interesting things growing in it.
