Totally off subject, kinda, but we have a shower we never use, and the bathroom was really smelling badly when I cleaned the toilet yesterday. I ran some water into the shower to get rid of the smell, and then I put some baking soda by the drain and ran the shower a bit longer because the smell hadn't dissipated quite yet.
This heat is affecting that shower, when it hasn't ever been a problem in the past. But we usually have some guests using that shower during the summer. We usually have visitors, and no one has visited yet, so that could be just lack of use. The baking soda seemed to work. Turning off the whole house fan might have fixed it. Not sure.
I actually run the water- flush toilets, faucets, shower, bathtubs- in the 2 bathrooms we don't use every single week. Another problem that could occur is your pipes in the walls can dry out and leak from non use.
