(http://www.pinterest.com/pin/479633429038199372/)On Wednesday I noticed that my kitchen sink was rather smelly, so like any sane individual would do I jumped on google and looked up a remedy. What I found was to use a mix of baking soda and white vinegar.
So if you have a smell coming from your sink follow these steps below.
- Measure one cup of baking soda per sink hole and pour into sink. Leave to sit for 20 minutes.
- Measure 1/4 cup of white vinegar per sink hole and pour into sink. This will cause a foaming reaction. Cover immediately with a cloth for approx 1 minute.
- Run hot water into your sink for 1-2 minutes, this will dislodge the organic food particles and clear the pipe for you.
On a whim I decided to check the overflow pipe under my sink. I discovered that there was food particles blocked in the pipe, so make sure you remove these also as this could be adding to the odor.
Having tried the above myself I can confirm that it worked in my home. My sink now smells fresh.
I really hope someone finds this helpful/beneficial. I will see you all on my next blog update.
