Do not say that it has never happened to you before: you will come home from work in the summer, or you will come from a holiday, and instead of a “scent of home”, a really unpleasant smell is from the kitchen. On closer survey, you will find that the sink is to blame, or rather waste. What now? Surprisingly, help is easy.
In the described case, there is nothing else to do but immediately start the fight against the smell, which would otherwise soon expel you not only from the kitchen but from the whole apartment. High temperatures accelerate the decomposition processes of food remnants, which, no matter how much we try to prevent it, always partially adhere to the outflow of the kitchen sink. This is the cause of the whole stinking problem.
Remove the odor kitchen according to the instructions in the youtub video by 1 Tom Plumber:
Mole or finer intervention?
Who wants, of course, can immediately reach for vigorous strong chemical products, an old known mole (although it can be called any otherwise) is in every household. But if you are afraid to use strong synthetic substances after all, we are simpler and a finer product that will certainly be found in the kitchen. You may have already estimated that they are vinegar.
Vinegar has great power
It is just vinegar, weak acid, which is known for its disinfectant effects. This is great in this case, because it can fight molds and bacteria. If it destroys bacteria, there will be nothing to break down the food remnants. As a result, the unpleasant odor will also disappear. In addition, the vinegar will help dissolve the seated grease, and that is always useful.
In addition to the waste also smells
Vinegar is effective, but we will not lie, nor its aroma may not be pleasant to everyone. Therefore, it is at the moment that the spice comes, which will reverse everything to the right side. It is a pleasantly scented cinnamon that not only neutralizes other odors, but even leaves its own pleasant slight scent in the room. In addition, she also has, as many we know, antibacterial effects, which we also use in a natural pharmacy. It will therefore help to do a quality work and complete the efforts with a fragrant dot. And that’s really good news, isn’t it?
Prepare a magic solution
So let’s go to work. The first step will be to prepare a solution from one cup of vinegar (ideally white) and two teaspoons of ground cinnamon. You can add more spices if you like its scent and want the rooms to smell more. With a higher odor also increase the dose of cinnamon, it pays off.
Decide on the time by the situation
Once everything is done, pour the solution carefully into the waste. Depending on the odor intensity, let it act from a few tens of minutes to a few hours – even overnight. Then let the boiling water boil and rinse the waste. Everything should return to normal tracks.
Prevent the worst
As we all know very well, a much simpler and better solution than extinguishing an imaginary blasting fire is prevention. The mentioned home solution is ideally suited for such an opportunity. Rinse the drain at least once a month, and in the summer months every week. Before going on holiday, such maintenance of the sink should be a matter of course.
A similar service to a lemon with cinnamon will also carry out a solution of edible soda and lemon juice. So you can choose whether you prefer a fresh lemon or warm cinnamon scent.
