Deodorize a Kitchen Sink that Smells (5 WAYS!) 

I had those problems with my kitchen sick. What I watched I had my son do several things on this program. And it did work for us.

I get bottled lemon juice 3 pack from Costco. When it smells funky, I just run hot water, turn it off and pour a little bit of the lemon juice. Let it sit then I go and turn on the hot water and garbage disposal at same time for a short rinse and voila! No funky smell! 😁😉🙌🙌🙌 I do this once a month.

Great easy/detailed video! Will try the vinegar & baking soda method, TY for your time!

You are a life saver.I hate bad smell... I did the vinegar and baking soda.That was amazing.Thank you so much...

You explained this so well. I actually feel like I can do this. Thank you...new subscriber!

Best thing that works for me is Odoban. I buy the large jug of concentrated liquid and pour some down the drains (double sink in kitchen). Sometimes I pour the whole jug into them if they are particularly smelly. Works well for me.

I’ll try that; thank you. Our plumber said to just clean the nasty rubber thing, but it didn’t help the smell.

This was great, thank you!

Thanks very much for sharing. I will surely be trying this.

For disposal blockage, I occasionally use Dawn dish detergent. Squeeze a liberal amount into to drain, a splash of water, a quick spin of the disposal, and it roughly cleans the side-slot grinders of the disposal (if that type). Seems to work better than trying to brush it.

I went with the baking soda and viniger with boil water as u told and finally i made it now no any bad odour thanku sir

Thank you very helpful!! I used the backing soda vinegar method as well.

You are very clear!

Thank you so much! Your video was so helpful!!! Appreciate the time it took you to make it.

Thank you plumber man. I used the baking soda and vinegar. 👍👍

I use the baking soda vinegar method AND I save used juiced lemons cut into quarters in my freezer. I use the frozen lemon bits instead of ice to grind/clean the disposer blades

Hot water and washing/laundry powder is pretty successful especially for grease.

Great ideas 👍Thanks for sharing.

Your fav solution has come close to solving my problem. It is awful and I've spent about 75$ on three solutions that didn't touch it. Thank you.

This is Hollywood I think I'm going to try the vinegar and baking soda method for my kitchen sink 😮

very nice instructional video. it worked for me. Thank you!

I need to try this.

Hello! I would like to know how to clean and deodorize the other side of the sink, the one without the disposal? Is there a way to remove the inner stainless steel piece that prevents one from putting a brush down into it? Thanks for any information!

Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️

Thank you great video 😊

Thank you! 😊

Do I do anything different with a 2 sided sink? Just do the same thing at the same time for both?

Thank you so much!

Thx 4 sharing

Thanks

Thanks Tom. Going to go with the baking soda n vinegar method.....

Thank you!

Thanks👍🏻

Many times the odor is coming from your dishwasher hose connection.

Thanks for this tip! I went with the baking soda, vinegar and a pot of boiling water. It seemed to do the trick. I also use a pipe brush that looks like a baby bottle brush only bigger and using some Dawn dishwashing soap I was able to clean the sides of the pipe going up and down all around pipe. The Dawn cut the sludge and built up grease like crazy. I shined a light down into the drain and you could clearly see where the baking soda, vinegar, pipe brush and Dawn did the trick. Smell is gone! Thanks big time!

Good video Dino Baking Soda and vinegar worked for me but the soda part I had to you Vess cola 😁😁😁😁

question: I have some taps my landlord just had replaced, washers and everything. Now the water that comes out smells like oil/grease that smells like my mechanic dad after his shift. It's not over powering but definitely a smell there. Even in the cup when I've sniffed it, the water is still clear and there's no rainbow sheen to it, and it's stronger when we use the hot water. But every tap he's touched has this smell to the water. The water does taste slightly off. Should I just flush the taps and if so, how long? I'm not wanting to call them again cause it took a few months to get them to believe me there was an issue.

Love this guy! Should have way more subscribers.

I tried them all at once, except for the pipe removal. I'll keep you posted

Thank you

I usually brush my teeth and rinse with mouthwash in my kitchen sink twice a day so that should help somewhat. By the way, my sink does not smell terribly bad and the garbage disposal is separate from the sink.

I’m in a mobile home and all my sinks stink,what do you do when they all stink,I’ve done vinager and baking soda and boiling water,done bleach,did drank,help

Can i use apple cider vinegar instead of white and baking powder instead of soda?

The issue I have is that the odor coming from all drains including shower, bath and bathroom sink. Could you please send me the link of your video? And also any recommendations would very much appreciated.

i always use the vinegar and bicarb of soda then hot water works a treat

Well i tried both the baking soda vinegar and boiling water and tried the bleach back to back and drain still smells i also took off the p trap to check for water it had water and it did its also a new p trap now i cant smell it when standing in the kitchen anymorw but can if i stick my head over the drains

Thanks!

Baking soda and vinegar worked like a charm and lemon juice afterward. So fresh. Now.

Baking soda and vinegar works the best. It may take some time but it will eventually work it's way through. Bleach does not work for those who are on a septic field or gray field method.

The first few seconds made me laugh hard, instantly liked it although all the techniques are pretty useful too.

Have you ever tried lemon 'n' vinegar ice cubes? They are perfect for cleaning and deodorizing your garbage disposer?

Amazing

Hi Tom, my kitchen sink that has a fairly new garbage disposal smells like sulfur but only when I run the water. I’ve tried ice cubes, baking soda and vinegar but nothing is getting rid of it. Any insights? Thanks

I clean my garage disposal with ice and dawn it works for me

Can I use Borax with vinegar or washing soda with vinegar

Won’t bleach mess up the septic system?

Once a month I put a whole 4 lb. box baking soda down each drain , followed by the hottest water from faucet . Then pour a gallon of white vinegar down each one to set overnight .

The baking soda and vinegar worked Great Thank You👍👍

Will the boiling water not affect the pvc pipes or the pvc cement negatively?

My garbage disposal sink side always feels like crap 💩 I will give these a try

Is boiling water too hot? I have been taught not to put too hot water into the drain

How do you clean the dishwasher hose? I've tried all methods, and it's not my sink. I'm quite sure it's the dishwasher hose. I don't have a garbage disposal.

My sink only smells' when my washing machine pumps water out ,WHY

the bacon soda n vinger helped my son with his drain

What if my sink AND my new expensive dishwasher smell badly??

What if we don't have ice at home?

Ice worked for me.

Usually the odor is caused by the gases backing up from the main sewer pipes.

rule number 1 never pour grease down your sink

Boiling water & bleach helps.

Mine smells like mildew or something i cant explain. I don't have disposal and Ive done the vinegar soda trick. Smell was Back in a week?

1 part bleach mixed with 4-5 parts water works very well. let it stand 20+ minutes

Peroxide or rubbing alcohol with the ice cubes.

I tried the vinegar and baking soda, it still has a nasty order. The bleach is not recommended on septic systems,thanks anyway.

Thank you ... Question... Would that harm in any way the garbage disposal??? Is using also boiling water will harm the PVC pipes at all????

I tried the baking soda and vinegar method 3 times and it still smells.

this might be a dumb question but can i use the baking soda/vinegar method on a bathroom tub as well

HOME ONLY ONE YR OLD,,,,anyone got sewage oder in every sink in 2 story home ONLY WHEN WATER IS TURNED ON & ITS NOT THE WATER

I am puzzled with the unique smell I have in my kitchen after I had a back up sink. I had to carry the soapy, dirty water from the sink to the bathroom to prevent to flow on the kitchen floor while waiting for the plumber. The water comes from apts above me and from the side apt. I had this back up sink many times in the past and last time it happened, the landlord had to fix the hole kitchen and put brand new pipes from the ground and in the wall below the sink, and now after 2 years, the back up sink again. In my opinion, back up sink would never happen if other neighbors didn't use the garbage disposal as dumpster. Sink is for water running not to dump food. After the ordeal of carring the water from sink to the bathroom back and forth, after the plumber fixes the cloggling and OMG the unique smell that stays in the air during the back up and after the fixing and cleaning. Why this smell. I can't describe the smell. All I know is sickening, very subtle. Why this smells. Is the mixture of the grease, soap and dirty causing this unique smell? I can't describe the smell. It's not rotten, it's not sewer smell. What's that smell? I had to change clothes, washed many times my hands, and I still smell it after one day. The smell is agonizing in a very subtle way. People were telling me to sue the landlord because of the smell, the delay to fix it, the repetitive back up sink, repetitive flood on my floor.

Make sure you put the p-trap back on before you run any water through it. Don't be like me and take off the p-trap and then go to the sink to wash it. Luckily I still had the bucket underneath.

A little advise from a veteran video editor: Don't have your intro music any louder than your voice. Otherwise great video.

His favorite solution, hot water, baking soda and vinegar comes at 3:09

Why not just replace the P-trap?

Mine is the bathroom sink😢

My sinks smells like ammonia! Tried al these tricks. Nothing helps... Please help

Well I heard the baking soda should sit for 15 minutes, then add a cup of vinegar and leave it for another 15 minutes, then add the boiling water, and another source said flush it with hot water for a few minutes, and another source said after you add the baking soda and vinegar to leave it for at least a few hours before flushing it with hot water. I dont think you're allowing the solutions enough time to work their magic, but your method may still work just probably not as well, i dont k ow, but a third source say put a cup of baking soda and 2 cups of vinegar, leave it a few minutes then add the boiling water. Personally i just tried the cup of vinegar for 30 minutes and then added a kettle of boiling water and further flushed it with 2 minutes of hot water will see if that works, i think it's done something

vinegar and baking soda works fine

I hit it with bleach and then googled my way here... I'll try the boiling water+ baking soda+ vinegar next.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

get a 10 pound bag of ice, turn on the disposal and put in as much ice as the disposal will swallow until there is so much crushed ice you can see a brown scum forming. THEN rinse clean and add lemon juice and not the peel and allow to set.

Also the underside of the rubber piece on the disposal side of the sink, gets slimy biofilm on it from food splashing back. Clean the underside of that. It's nasty.

or if you're able, spend the $30 and replace the whole set of pipes.

👍👏💐

BLEACH!!

Vinegar & baking soda great for shower drains too easy

Bleach will 100% rust the entire pipes if used all the time.

Never pour boiling water down your drain

Vinegar and baking soda is overrated

I just spent the money on a 20 dollar drain cleaner
