After each time we use our shower (2 - 3x/day), a SOUR smell emerges - not sure if from the drain directly or somewhere else. The shower is enclosed, though we have a window in the bathroom. See example of the style (not the actual shower).
It can be a faint or strong smell, depending on the day. I tried the vinegar/baking soda/water home remedy, but it didn't seem to do the trick. The smell can be so bad that in addition to our exhaust fan, we'll have to crack our window open.
Is this something that has to do with the maybe the P trap, or do you think this is a mold problem below the shower? It's a tiled bathroom - roughly 11 years old. We do get spot bits of mold here and there on the floor in the corner/seam, but it is easy to clean and is cleaned up quickly.
Any help would be so appreciated!
