Commercial products to clear clogging should work. Usually in solution or powder form, to pour down the sink, wait maybe 30 mins, then flush.

Clear out the trap at the bottom. You probably have a lot of gunk there. Just unscrew the cylinder at the bottom and chuck everything. Probably got hair, food debris, other unthinkable things that you've rinsed down the sink thinking it goes into the sewer but gets stuck there. You might even find a lost diamond or two!

done that already. No gunk stuck at all.

 

 

After some more checking, i got a feeling is from the shower area drain. For that, it will not have any trap at the bottom...now this become tricky liao....

 

am planning to use the combi of white vinegar+baking soda method which i researched from internet, after the failure of the bleach+hot water method.

It may be the water...

Possible your drainage pipes somewhere.

Try your flushing method at the furthest point from main drain pipe.

If still don't work, then it could be your main drain pipe... Nothing you can do there i'm afraid.

Call someone?

Go daiso, they sell this box of tablets for $2 and it's really effective.

I suppose you may have to clean the entire bathroom wall and the cabinet under the sink.

Use those duck neck toilet cleaner. Yes....use it to clean up the entire area, the main ingredient is hydrochloride acid, this chemical will kill of all odour and virus/bacteria!!

 

I know how sickening to have that lingering smell due to flooded/stuck drain/sink.

 

To speed up the odour removal, put a fan ther and blow it for 24 hours to dry up everything. Once it dry, the odour will disappear naturally. I guess somewhere damp is causing the smell.
