Kitchen Drain Smell...
For some reason our kitchen drain is smelling like rotting food... How do we fix this? WE don't have a disposal, just a regular drain. TIA

Re: Kitchen Drain Smell...
Is it slow to drain? If so you have a clog.
If not pour at least half a box of baking soda down the drain, then about two cups of white vinegar.
It should bubble up a bit and deodorize the drain.
Leave for about a half an hour and then pour several cups of very hot water down the drain.

Make sure it's not your sponge that smells. Quite a few times we thought it was the drain, only to discover we just needed a new sponge.

I was going to recommend the baking soda and vinegar as well

Re: Kitchen Drain Smell...
bleach. i put just a little bit of bleach in there, and voila.
not sure if that is bad for the pipes or not, but i really only use a tiny bit.
