Put a cup of bicard down the drain and then add a cup of white vinegar. Quickly replace the plug before it all foams up and leave for 30 minutes. That will clean and unblock your drain. A blockage could be causing the smell.

Hi Sandi, Not sure what is causing your bad smell from the sink drain. Do you have a garbage disposal? Here's a link with a number of suggestions you can try: https://www.wideopeneats.com/8-hacks-to-rid-your-kitchen-of-funky-sink-odors/

Sandi: I run ice cubes with a bit of course salt thru the garbage disposal.

Cut up lemons and put down drain let set for a day then run disposal

I do the baking soda and vinegar thing to all my sinks several times a year. Hadn’t thought about the plugging it up though. That’s a good idea.

How do I get rid of a bad smell coming from a kitchen sink drain?
