If your hot water still smells like rotten eggs even after sanitizing you may have to add some white vinegar to the water heater tank and let it set.

Drain the water heater first before filling it with 2 parts vinegar one part water. So for a 6 gallon water heater tank you'll need 4 gallons of white vinegar. You'll need a little extra if you use the winterizing connection but don't have to mess with removing the valve. This will also help to descale the water heater if it's needed.
