Is there a bad odor coming from your kitchen sink? There may be some leftover food particles in your garbage disposal. Fortunately, with a little deodorizing, you can eliminate these foul odors from your kitchen.
Steps to Eliminate Drain Odors:
Turn on the Disposal – Turn on the disposal and run some water down the drain. This will help dislodge and clean the inside of the garbage disposal.
Add Ice Cubes – Pour a few cups of ice cubes down your disposal and wait until the ice cubes have been crushed and cleared out.
Add Lemon Peels – Throwing a few lemon peels and ice cubes down your disposal will help freshen things up and get rid of any noxious odors. Instead of a foul stench, you’ll be left with a citrus scent!
Turn off the disposal – After the lemon peels and ice cubes have been cleared out, turn off your disposal and then turn off the water. You should be left with a fresh-smelling sink!
