I assume you're using powdered laundry detergent. Stop doing that. Or, if
you cannot stop for some silly reason, try a suggestion someone else posted
here once: A gallon of ammonia poured into the drain, followed a while later
by flushing with the hottest water you can get from the tap.
For the bathroom, good luck. I've the same problem. Perhaps someone needs
to stop washing hair down the drain. I minimized the problem by putting a
better screen in my tub drain, but that would be cumbersome in sinks.
