Considering this, what causes smelly kitchen drains?
Kitchen sink smells can have one of two causes:
Rotting food stuck in the drain or garbage disposal, or. Sewer gas is leaking in through the plumbing vent or drain trap.
Then, how do you clean a smelly drain without vinegar? To clear the air faster, deodorize the drain by slowly pouring 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain while running the warm water. If you keep a box of baking soda in your refrigerator to absorb food odors, when you change the box, use the old baking soda to deodorize your drains.
Likewise, people ask, why does my sink drain smell like rotten eggs?
A smelly sink is usually caused by bacteria build up from grease, fat and food which have been flushed down the drain. These will then get stuck in the pipes causing the familiar rotten egg smell.
