I've read the post about the eggy smell in La-La's caravan, we have a musty smell coming from the kitchen sink plug hole. What should we use - this has only surfaced over the last couple of days while its been sat on the drive. We've not had this smell before and would appreciate your thoughts.

I use a plunger. Fill the sink and then plunge the sucker up and down. You will be amazed at what comes out. You don't need any chemicals.

Do the shower and wash basin too.

We flush through with Milton on a regular basis - including the aqua roll and waste master. Keeps everything fresh.

Dont use house hold bleach as this will make the pipes over time brittle..

Many moons ago I used to use Milton down the kitchen sink drain and after a time the pipes literally powdered away. The bathroom pipes were fine as I did not use any chemicals down them. This is one of the reasons I have been using Puriclean for the water systems.

As to using a plunger please take care as the force of the plunger can push the pipe connections apart or if the pipe is fragile it will split the pipe leading to a yucky mess under the sink. If a blockage is suspected in the pipe simply disconnect at one of the joints under the caravan and normally the blockage or restriction is at the joint where the water flow changes direction or the connector traps the waste. Don't poke about in the pipe with stiff wire or screwdrivers as this will also split or puncture the pipes (the flexi type).
