There is nothing more fulfilling and pleasant than having a clean and fragrant home. However, sometimes it can happen that even though you have cleaned all the surfaces of the kitchen or bathroom, they release a rather unpleasant smell.
In most cases, such a foul odor is caused by a buildup of residue in the sink drain, sometimes so copious that it clogs pipes and prevents water from flowing down.
Fortunately, in less serious cases, it is possible to adopt simple tricks that not only remove obstructions from drains and pipes, but eliminate bad odors in a few minutes.
Below we suggest an effective DIY trick that will help you keep your drain and pipes clean quickly and easily, without using chemicals or calling the plumber.
You need:
- Half a glass of baking soda
- Half a glass of vinegar
Pour the baking soda into the sink, making sure to drop a good portion of it down the drain. Then pour in the vinegar, which will come into contact with the baking soda and generate an effervescent action.
At this point you can take advantage and use a sponge to clean the internal surfaces of the sink: the combination of vinegar and baking soda is very effective in removing dirt, disinfecting and making the metal shine.
After about 5 minutes, pour plenty of hot water into the sink to rinse and remove all residue, as well as bad odors.
To prevent the accumulation of food residues or other residues in the sink drain, we suggest that you apply this trick periodically, without waiting for the bad smell to form or, even worse, to clog the drain.
With this trick we will be able to apply an effective and ecological solution to bad odors that come from the sink at home.
