Over time, grease, food particles, and other debris can accumulate inside your sink drain, causing clogs and bad odors.

• Baking soda
• Vinegar
• Hot water
• A drain snake or plumber's auger (optional)
• A drain cleaner (optional)

Before you start cleaning, remove any large debris or food particles from the sink drain. Use a drain screen or a piece of mesh to catch any remaining particles.

Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight. The baking soda and vinegar will help break down any grease and debris.

Pour hot water down the drain to rinse away the baking soda and vinegar mixture. Check to see if the water drains freely. If not, you may need to use a drain snake or plumber's auger to remove any remaining clogs.

If you have a severe clog or buildup, you may need to use a drain cleaner. However, be careful when using these products, as they can damage your pipes. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and take necessary safety precautions.

• Don't pour grease or oil down the drain, as they can solidify and cause clogs.
• Use a drain screen or mesh to catch food particles and debris.
• Run hot water through the drain regularly to help clear any buildup.
• Consider using a natural drain cleaner, such as baking soda and vinegar, on a regular basis.
