I installed a bathroom sink made out of the composite material that looks like marble. I am having a problem of a musty odor coming from the overflow hole. I suspect a mildew of some sort has taken up residence there. I’ve tried putting bleach in the water and letting it run for a while with a little success, but can’t get rid of the odor for good. Is this a common problem with this type of sink? Does anyone have a suggestion?
