My twenty year old house has cheapo ceiling exhaust fans that clang

I would think running the fan for thirty seconds after the occurance
of foul smelling gases should be quite a sufficient amount of time for
a well planned exhaust fan to rid the bathroom of noxious odors!

I appreciate all your responses! I wonder if anyone has experimented
with a "vacuum toilet" that actually traps the farts before they
escape the bowl? Wonder if I could take a standard toilet and tap a
vacuum line into it to efficiently remove foul smelling odors?

I understand from people who suffer from problems like this, that a dash
of "Beano" does wonders in reducing the amount of gas produced in the
first place. Available in the supplement isle of your local grocery
store.
