Worth checking that the traps have sufficient water, as they dry out quickly in this atmosphere.

If your problem is that your traps dry out then pour a very small bit of oil in the sinks.
The oil wil will spread op the surface and prevent the water from evaporating.
Don't forget the largest trap: the toilet !

Good tip Eric. I had heard that one before so tried it & it does help if unused for an extended time 👍👍
