    Start with checking if the drain/trap is clogged with hair and gunk. Clear anything in there. You could also try Drain-O. Lastly, sprinkle baking soda then vinegar; let the concoction bubble, and flush away with warm water. Good luck!

    I don't like to use harsh chemicals in drains. Once a month I use baking soda and vinegar. Both are cheap. Maintains the drains from clogging and odors.

    you can't go wrong with the baking soda and vinegar. I use this in both kitchen and bath room. It really works.....

    Agree...baking soda and vinegar. I also put white vinegar in the rinse compartment of my dishwasher. It helps to take that film that you can get on glasses away. I use Vinegar to clean with a lot. I use 1 cup of Vinegar to 1/2 gallon or so of hot water to mop tile and laminate floors. I also use it in my laundry rinse cycle. It is great for removing odors where a puppy might have an accident. I also put a cup of Vinegar into my carpet cleaner with the regular cleaner. It gives it a boost and helps with odors.
