smell from from the toilets in the morning

Hi there

I have an apartment in Block 5 Portal 1.

Anybody any issues with foul smells coming from the toilets in the morning.

Once bleach is flushed down it is ok for a while. The toilet does not appear blocked.

Anybody find a long term solution ? I already had some complaints.

Ofina Go to the sales and put a complaint form. In Spain have much effect and function. A single sheet of Claim must deliver it in an office of Consumer. It's easy and very useful.

The odor problem is that the pipes are misplaced and do the turns correctly.

Demands your rights.

Hi...

Is the smell really bad (although any smell isn't wanted) or are you 'talking' about the general unpleasant whiff that most people experience in Spanish bathrooms and toilets?  We have stayed in many Spanish apartments over the past 11 years and almost every one of them produced an unpleasant odour at times!  The Spanish are so used to it that they don't notice it...he even when you point it out to them.

The biggest problem (I say problem, but the Spanish don't think it IS a problem) is that nearly all Spanish bathrooms are built without a trap incorporated in the waste pipe.  All Brtish-built bathrooms and toilets have a trap incorporated...which blocks any back leakage of smells.  Also, if ever a toilet is allowed to dry out (can quite easily happen if a place is left empty for a while) it is so much easier for smells to leak back into the bathroom/toilet

As a British builder...whenever my husband has put in toilets for other Brits in Spain, and when we built our own place there, he always put a trap in place.

If the smells are more severe than this....this really needs to be investigated.

Hope this helps! 

Hi, we are in block 5 portal 2 and are here at the moment - we havent had any problems with smells.
