    Wear gloves and with a green sponge scrub the slime inside. Turn the hot water and let it run. Then add plenty of clorox. Turn the garbage disposal on for few seconds. Nasty odor will be eliminate in seconds! Also add clorox to the other side so it can be cleaned. You can add clorox to your bathroom sink and shower and bathtub. All those smells will be eliminated. Do this at least once a week

    Do you know if the smell originates from the water in the pipes or does it originate from the area near the kitchen pipes? The video below may help you.

    Make sure that leaks have not caused the bottom of the cabinet to rot. Make sure nothing has fallen down in a space between the back of the cabinet an the wall. Wipe out bottom of cabinet well. Leave open overnight.

    do you have a crawl space? Sis bad smell came from her drain pipe for the washer was rotted thru and we didn't know it so every time she would do laundry, do dishes or bathe that water would dump out on the dirt in her crawlspace. Thankfully someone doin other work down there found the pipe which had rotted thru and .fixed it wala no more nasty smell. do u have a garbage disposal run several cleaners back to back first one gets it loose 2nd one actually cleans it then or might be time for a new one
