Could it be a leak in the attic? You might be smelling it more strongly in the hotpress cos there'd be holes for the pipes to come down from the attic.

Open the attic door and you'll get the whiff fairly quickly if it is.

there is a chance that it could be mice in the hot press - or they might be in the attic and they go up and down the pipe from the attic to the hotpress. I had this is my house about 3 years ago. I got a smell a couple of times either in the hotpress, or when I was on the stairs - as they were in the boiler room (under the stairs).

I was a bit grossed out at first - so if you are too just take a deep breath.... it all ok if it is mice ... a few traps or even some poison in the attic will take care of them.

Not saying that it IS mice - only that it could be. I remember at the time I did not associate a smell with mice - but have since head from lots of people that its common.
I'd prefer a mouse or 2 to a leaking pipe anyway :wv

Hope you get it sorted honey

Sounds like stagnant water!(Water that's pooling & not moving) It's a horrible smell. Years ago in a building I worked in, we had a small sink in a press, & the smell of stagnant water was awful. Dead mice smell different, they just smell rotton, but stagnant water just smells like dish cloths left for WAY too long. Maybe ask your plumber what to do. THat smell can occur in a hot press, maybe something is preventing the water from circulating properly.
