Help with stinky sink

Do you have an automatic garbage disposal connected to the sink?

Baking soda and vinegar. Here's a link with lots of other things to try too:

Hello. Is it related to your garbage disposal. I’ve use the affresh products for my dishwasher washing machine and they were very helpful. This link may be something to look over.

Baking soda and vinegar

1. Pour half a cup of baking soda down the plughole.
2. Pour 1 cup of vinegar down the plughole.
3. Let the solution foam up and leave it to stand for a few hours.
4. Pour some boiling water down the plughole to flush everything through.

Did the odor happen recently?! Use a flashlight and look down the drain to make sure the P trap is holding water. It may not be holding water to prevent sewer gas from coming up. You can also remove the P trap and gently slip it off to see if it's holding water. You can clean the P trap at the same time.

I found that the rubber gasket on my sink gets gross.

How about lemon juice and boiling water

I would suggest to use affresh products as they were quite effective with these sorts of problem.

If you’ve already used the baking soda/vinegar tip, you might just need to do it a bit more frequently.

Hi! My daughter recently had the same problem and she had two different plumbers clean and take apart everything and nothing worked. Her sewer line was also cleaned and checked. She remembered that I clean my sink drains with vinegar and baking soda, so at least once a week she puts that in her sink drains before going to bed, and flushes them the next morning. No more problems after spending over $1400 dollars on plumbers. She said she noticed an improvement after one use, but, has had no problems since doing it weekly.

Folks,

Judy said in her question that she has already tried baking soda and vinegar.

Not sure what you have done with soda and vinegar but I do this and it works great.

1 cup baking soda

1 cup white cleaning vinegar

cover and let sit for 10 minutes

Pour boiling water down the drain.

This will not only get rid of smells, it will also help to keep the drain clean and free of blockage from food and grease.

You might need to go a step beyond the stand-by of baking soda and vinegar, and after you have cleaned your P trap. Home Depot has a large container of drain cleaner that was recommended by Mr Plumber, go there and get it, clean your drain with it at recommended intervals.

Hi Judy, here is a link with some ideas for you

I throw any cut lemons down the garbage disposal to keep it fresh, or get some Plink little pucks to put in. For just sinks they make sticks to put down them. https://www.google.com/search?q=sink+deodorizer+sticks&client=opera&hs=kJa&sxsrf=AOaemvJe2q0o3Thav-QWKMZIrcDEz0HZQQ%3A1633625256040&ei=qCRfYdftAc_R-wSpzILYDg&oq=sink+deodorizer+sticks&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAEYAzIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB46BAgjECc6BQgAEJECOgsILhCABBDHARCjAjoICC4QsQMQgwE6CAgAELEDEIMBOggIABCABBCxAzoECAAQQzoFCC4QgAQ6BwguELEDEEM6CggAELEDEIMBEEM6BwgAELEDEEM6CwgAEIAEELEDEIMBOgUIABCGA0oECEEYAFCa8CJYvpUjYN6tI2gAcAJ4AIABmwKIAcoMkgEFOS40LjKYAQCgAQHAAQE&sclient=gws-wiz

If your kitchen sink has a garbage disposal you could grind up some lemons and salt. If not, I use lemon essential oils in my sink, just a couple of drops makes it smell great.
