We get bad sewer smell here in Asia which is why I asked. Vinegar and hot water usually helps for bad sewer smell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stinky-sink#post-1562392 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:37:23 +0000 autumnlove 1562392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: same thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stinky-sink#post-1562361 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:26:09 +0000 psw27 1562361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @avivoca - that's what we do. I would maybe just give it all a good scrub with Comet too - including using a brush to try and get the grime around the drain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stinky-sink#post-1562327 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:15:49 +0000 avivoca 1562327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baking soda followed by vinegar followed by boiling water helps to clean our pipes out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stinky-sink#post-1562325 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:15:23 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1562325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: that's my suggestion too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stinky-sink#post-1562317 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:13:15 +0000 prettylizy 1562317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pour baking soda down there then vinegar then flush with hit water </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stinky-sink#post-1562307 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:08:11 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1562307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: it's not sewage &amp; we have well water so it's definitely just terrible sink. I was wondering is something with baking soda would help...thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stinky-sink#post-1562300 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:07:02 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1562300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: no, it's more like bad milk/old food smell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stinky-sink#post-1562244 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:51:49 +0000 septca 1562244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's a sewer smell, it's likely a back up issue that you may need a plumber to resolve.</p> <p>If it's off/mucky smelling, it could be a change in the way your city is treating the water. (Every year, our city changes it's water treatment method for the month of April and the water smells terrible.)</p> <p>If it's just terrible sink smell, I recommend scouring your sink with Soft Scrub (the type with bleach or baking soda) and then running hot water for about 10 minutes to clear out your pipes. I like to slowly trickle baking soda in the water while it runs. (I use a whole box, but since it's only about 79 cents a box, it's well worth it to me.)</p> <p>Do you have a double sink? We do and one side barely gets any use (we have a dish drainer on that side and use it primarily for drying) - that side often gets mildewy smelling because water sits in the pipes because it isn't used often enough to flush it out. If you have this issue, the baking soda + hot water treatment usually clears it right up.</p> <p>I am so sorry and I hope you get this resolved quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stinky-sink#post-1562241 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:49:46 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1562241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could something have died under the sink? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stinky-sink#post-1562209 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:42:39 +0000 erwoo 1562209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does it smell like sewer? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stinky-sink#post-1562206 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:41:44 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1562206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I woke up this morning &amp; my whole house smells. I found the source, our kitchen sink. We don't have a garbage disposal so it's not that. It just smells horrendous. Any suggestions on how to de-stinkify? </p>
