Kitchen Sink Smell

Wear a nose clip!

pour a cup of vinegar down. start with one a day and then weekly.

Do you wash out ur sink daily? It may be an outside smell. Try to scrub the sink with comet/cleanser and rinse well. That should really be done every night.

Otherwise there might be something wrong with ur pipes.

I’ll assume your sink has a trap.

It may be that the waste line’s vent is clogged and the trap (whose purpose is to retain a bit of water and block sewage gas from entering your home) is therefor being suctioned out. First try the baking soda/vinegar idea suggested above. if foul smells continue to come from the sink you may have a blocked vent. In all probability, that means a plumber will need to be called.

If the trap has a plug you can unscrew, you can easily check to see if it’s full of water (just don’t forget to position a bucket below it). If it doesn’t have a plug, wait until a smell is coming from the sink and then slowly pour a cup of water down the drain. If this stops the smell, you probably are having the trap suctioned out.

Do you have a disposal? Try throwibng some lemons down it and turning it on. Baking soda also is supposed to work. I agree with calling in a plumber, if nothing else works.

There was a terrible smell coming from my kitchen. I was sure it was rat and was afraid to look! We pushed away the fridge, stove etc. Nothing. Then I realized what it was…moldy potatoes. Those give out a smell…..

Try something strong like (as suggested) vinegar or bleach. This might be a long shot but maybe drano. If it can push whatevers there to unclog a drain, presumably it would get rid of any smell at the same time.
