Sink trap - 2 appliances?

[markdon]

Hi all, we have a 1 & 1/2 sink, washing machine and dishwasher. The plumbing was already there when we moved in, but there are smells coming up the sink, especially when the tap is running.

The trap seems very small, everything about it is messy under there.

Can someone supply a link of a good replacement? Hopefully taking up less space? But with a bigger trap? If that makes sense?

Thanks.

Hard to give accurate replacement , don't know dimension but something like this might work.

Smell could be the 1/2 bowl as it has no trap and often gets little use, empty you kettle down it once a week will help keep it clean.

Smells from the drains should be prevented from both sinks by a single trap if connected properly. However as you said if the half bowl is not used & flushed regularly then smells could build up in the waste pipe between the 1/2 bowl & the trap.
