What Smells Like Hamsters?

Hi all I have noticed a few times that our downstairs loo occasionally smells like a hamsters cage! I refurbished it during the year and this is not a serious issue but it is intriguing! All walls are plain and painted with wipe clean emulsion. The cistern is boxed in, but I have checked behind the boxing and around the flush pipe/waste from the pan and there are no signs of leaks. So can anyone suggest a source for a smell in a bog that is similar to a (cleanish) hamster cage? I have never seen a rodent in the place let alone a hamster. TIA Phil If it smells like a clean hamster's cage is it your pine fresh toilet cleaner? If it smells fishy then it's often a degrading light fitting. It's only on here that I found the source of that problem! |

It's only on here that I found the source of that problem! That could be a good call! Not sure why pine fresh cleaner would smell of hamster.... But the smell does seem to maybe coincide with known cleaning activity. Yes I have heard about the fishy electrics but not experienced this. Thanks adder I'll watch for cleaning activity. Phil |
