After 3 treatments of baking soda and vinegar, my kitchen sink drain still smells like fish. Any other ideas?

    Freeze oranges or lemons and cut them up before freezing. Run your disposal while dropping in frozen citrus. Flush with water. Also make sure the rubber grommet around disposal is clean underneath using an old toothbrush and baking soda. Flush well with water. Should be clean smelling. Also running your disposal by adding ice with a slow, dripping water glow will clean the blades.

    A whole lemon squeezed or lemon oil drops. Let sit and rinse with boiling water.


    Or 1/4 c salt 1/2 c baking soda, 2 drops of food dish soap like Dawn and 1 c vinegar

    salt scrubs, soap dissolves stink and grease.

    Let sit 30 min plus and rinse with boiling water.

    Echo the tips Charmaine gave you above, if the drain you're talking about is the drain connected to a garbage disposal. I've found, though, that you don't need to freeze the citrus. You can also run egg shells through the disposal to both clean and sharpen the blades. Good luck.

    i have poured some Clorox down my sink just before bed before and left it there all night. That did the trick.
