Hi,
I recently noticed that in the mornings, I get a foul odor out of my master bathroom sink faucet when I turn on the water. The sink has been installed for about 1 yr now and I never noticed this happening before. Where is this coming from??
Thanks,

Remove the faucet aerator from the faucet and try it for a day to see if this helps remove the problem.
If it doesn't, remove the pop-up stopper and clear the pop-up rod of hair and toothpaste buildup; this is most likely the source of odor you are getting.
If your sink has overflows in it, run Clorox or Bleach through the holes to help remove the buildup.
