Hello,
Our bathroom was recently renovated, and during this process, a plumber replaced the drain and overflow fitting.
After about four months, we have noticed the following issue: there is a strong, unpleasant odor (sewage) coming from the bathtub.
The bathtub is used only occasionally, about once every two weeks.
What could be the cause, and how can this problem be resolved?
Thank you very much

Well, then you could just connect a vacuum cleaner… I tend to believe more in evaporation than in suction.
By the way, if you wash off dirty dishes, what do you do with the cooking fat and oil?Using that reasoning, you would be allowed to do everything again. If something possibly works without it, why should you do it with it? Also, oil is rather inconvenient because liquid fat or cooking oil can solidify quite quickly in the drain. That’s why it is recommended to dispose of excess fat in the residual waste and, for example, only put the pan into the dishwasher afterward.B

Oil goes into a separate container provided by the municipality. It is then collected at our local recycling center and recycled. The container fills up quickly.
No reasonable person intentionally clogs their sink.

But none of you have contributed a solution; you’ve only given your two cents.
And once again, nothing sucks the oil out of the trap.
