    You can do a couple of different things to help 1. Baking soda and vinegar. 2 I like to squeeze either lemons or limes and let it sit. Or you can try some bleach.

    It's a drain issue- I know it well! Whether or not you have a disposal, stuff sneaks down there and sits in wait to stink up your kitchen (cue spooky Halloween music- LOL). Try this: pour some baking soda down the drain (1/4 c. will do), some white vinegar (about the same amount), and let it sit and bubble for a few minutes. Follow this up with some really hot water. This is good for clogged sinks, too. You can follow up with a few drops of essential oil, if you like. If you have a disposal, throw half of a lemon in there- it probably won't grind up all the way, so you may have to pull out the skin. Should make your sink smell fresh and sweet!

    pour baking sodas down the drain like a lot of it, pour vinegar on top of the baking soda, once it stops foaming, pour boiling water down the drain. Do this several times to remove the smell and then on a once a month basi.

    1 cup baking soda, dry -- pour into drain; follow with 1 cup white vinegar -- it will foam, bubble, gurgle; follow in a few minutes with 2 cups BOILING water -- not just hot water from the sink -- do this once a month for maintenance

    Try pouring lemon juice down the sink. If you have a garberator, cut up a whole lemon into small pieces and grind it up.

    Grind up orange peels in the garbage disposal. You can also sprinkle some baking soda in the drain and let it sit for awhile, and then flush it with hot water.

    I use baking soda and vinegar. Dump a 1/4 cup of baking soda into the drain and add a cup of vinegar. Works for me.
