Recently bought a house and sewer smell is coming out of floor drain. Any cheap fix you guys can recommend? (aussie.zone)

If you don’t have a P-trap in your floor drain, the correct thing to do is add one.
If you’d like to avoid that, there are devices made that claim to keep out sewer gasses from floor drains. I’ve not used them, so I can’t say how well they do/don’t work. I searched for “floor drain check valve”.

I don't know if its the drain or the smell is coming from back of the toilet. Its a shitty american toilet with skirts that covers everything to make it look fancy. Fuck I hate anything made that's made in america.
