What Smells Like Hamsters?

Jan 16, 2008 9 Replies

Hi all



I have noticed a few times that our downstairs loo occasionally smells like a hamsters cage! I refurbished it during the year and this is not a serious issue but it is intriguing! All walls are plain and painted with wipe clean emulsion. The cistern is boxed in, but I have checked behind the boxing and around the flush pipe/waste from the pan and there are no signs of leaks.



So can anyone suggest a source for a smell in a bog that is similar to a (cleanish) hamster cage? I have never seen a rodent in the place let alone a hamster.


TIA

If it smells like a clean hamster's cage is it your pine fresh toilet cleaner? If it smells fishy then it's often a degrading light fitting. It's only on here that I found the source of that problem!

That could be a good call! Not sure why pine fresh cleaner would smell of hamster.... But the smell does seem to maybe coincide with known cleaning activity. Yes I have heard about the fishy electrics but not experienced this.

Thanks adder I'll watch for cleaning activity.

Pine sawdust maybe?

WOMEN folk missing, not wiping.

Examine the UNDER side of the loo seat, at the front.

You will be unpleasantly surprised...

I think that they should be made to stand up and learn to aim. We have to after all.

Surely we choose to as it's more convenient and results in shorter queues at theatre intervals. The solution would be the SheWee as previously mentioned - "For your convenience please order your interval drinks & SheWee at the Bar - Thank-you).
