Sorry. I intended to say, “Did you make sure the traps are not dry?”

Odor
Did you check to make sure they are not dry? Run water down all the sinks for a minute or two.

Odor
We have a strong “dirty socks” odor present in one of our micro labs. It’s a pretty typical lab using media and cultures, etc. and we are systematically removing everything and deconning but this odor is persisting. I know I have smelt this chemical before, maybe back in my undergraduate days, but it is really a sickening odor. Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
