    A bad smell coming out of the kitchen sink is quite a problem. It appears even when you regularly clean like a sink. How to get rid of the bad smell from the sink?

    Bacteria are responsible for the unpleasant odor coming out of the pipes. Some people drain food scraps in the sink or pour in oil left over from frying. This is a huge mistake. Food residues accumulate in the pipes and begin to rot. Then microbes multiply, which are responsible for the bad smell. Therefore, in order to prevent food from going down the drain, it is essential to buy a cover that you put on the strainer in the sink. On it will accumulate the leftovers and you can throw them away.

    Of course, prevention is better than cure, but if you are already struggling with an unpleasant smell coming out of the sink, there is a good solution for it. Take any laundry capsule and place it on the strainer in the sink. Then pour hot water over it (until it dissolves completely). The unpleasant smell will be just a memory.
