The same thing applies to a WC pan, on a larger scale. Have a look under your sink, and if there isn't either an obvious U bend or a plastic contraption fastened under the plughole with a pipe coming out of the side, you need to fit a trap of some sort. If you have got a trap, maybe there's some gunge in it which is going rotten. The plastic sort should have a domed cap on the bottom, which you can unscrew, and then clean out any offensive debris. Put a bucket underneath, to catch the water when you take the cap off, and be careful when you screw it back on - it's easy to get the plastic threads crossed, and damage them.

You may need to repeat the process-but usually at a friends restaurant I only have to do this 2 times in a row to get it fresh clean. My household rule is-always have boxes of arm hammer baking soda,a couple boxes of table salt a gallon of white vinegar in my pantry for nasty smelly drains as well as clogged drains.

Or do you not have a garbage disposal? try using Drain-O or just running super hot water and throwing a bunch of ice down there with the garbage disposal running.
