How to Clean a Smelly Sink Drain

Your house is clean as can be but you have a foul smell eminating from your sink drains; how do you get rid of it?

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Baking Soda
• White Vinegar

1. Relax, there is a simple, easy and cheap way to remove that stinky drain smell. Simply grab a box of baking soda and a bottle of white vinegar.

2. Shake some baking soda down the center of the drain. Next, pour in some of the white vinegar. You will hear a fizzing sound, that means the baking soda and vinegar are reacting to one another and it is starting to work. This process gets rid of the odor by removing any small food particles that have attached themselves to the drain walls.

3. Allow this to work until you don't hear the any fizzing sounds. Run hot water down the drain for a few seconds and viola, the smell should be gone. Repeat this a couple times a month or as often as needed.
