He could tell that Foggy washed his face in his kitchen sink

Yeah, how did he figure that out?! I always thought maybe he heard it, but then he was asleep/unconscious when Foggy did it. That one kinda had me stumped, to be honest. Unless Foggy used dish washing detergent, but, uh... eww.

Maybe he has really gross tap water

LOL! Yeah, sure. Cause the kitchen tap water is different from what comes out of the bathroom tap or the shower, right? ;-P

Yeah but the water from his bathroom would be exactly the same wouldn't it? So it had to be something like 'the residue in a kitchen sink is different from the one in a bathroom one and you somehow touch them while washing' and he could tell from that?

the simplest explanation is that matt keeps different types of soap by his kitchen and bathroom sinks and that's what he was actually smelling. :D

(i grant you that scented soaps are a highly feminine-coded thing, but i think matt might like having some mildly scented fancy hand/face soaps to act as a slight counterpoint to the general icky smells of a big city.)

THIS. Matt in the more recent comics comes across as a highly feminine-coded character, a point actually discussed by the creators because how were they ever going to sell Matt Murdock moving from NYC to San Francisco with his, uh, partner, and then coming out of the hero closet aaaand decide to wear a 3-piece, obnoxiously red suit that basically made him look like a rent boy while fighting crime? Mark Waid has some cheek on him, that's for sure.

But seriously, Matt in the comics has been shown to love fresh and floral scenty things, so I could buy hand soap, face soap to help cover the smell of NYC tap water (ugh).
