I sometimes get an odor in our bathroom sink as well. I have a small plunger I bought at Home Depot for about $2.50. It's bright yellow and works perfectly for the sinks. I plug the run-off hole with a wash cloth, fill the sink 3/4 with hot water and while holding the stopper open with one hand, I plunge with the other. It's amazing the black gunk that will come out, mostly in my husbands sink and I think it has to do with his shaving cream. I also have a spray bottle in our shower, filled half with water and half Clorox which I spray down the walls and floor at least once a week so mold does not form. Both work like a charm.
