Comment on How can you explain a smell you've never smelled before?

  You would have to get at the bathroom fan and see if it is dirty and smell it up close.

  I don’t know how they make them there, but the American ones can be a bit of a bother because they are often made with sharp stamped steel with tabs and slots to hold the fan in.

    I think the people we’re renting this from would not want us to do that, but I’d just like an answer.

      Fuck around and find out. I bet they would appreciate the place not burning down because the bathroom fan was primed for failure due to lack of maintenance.

      The right way to go about it would be to call them and tell them about the smell concern and suspicion that the fan may be at fault. Then they can spend the quid on a tradie coming out for a half hour.
