Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you tired of dealing with a smelly kitchen sink drain in your East Lothian home? A foul odor emanating from your sink can be a nuisance and may indicate a problem with your drainage system. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the importance of a well-functioning kitchen sink and are here to provide you with tips on how to clean and eliminate kitchen sink drain smells.

Before we dive into the solutions, it's essential to identify the cause of the smell. Common causes of smelly kitchen sink drains include:

• Grease and food particles accumulating in the pipes
• Dry P-trap (the curved pipe under the sink)
• Clogged drains
• Poor ventilation

1. Vinegar and Water: Pour 1 cup of white vinegar down the drain, followed by 2 cups of hot water. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then rinse with hot water. The acid in the vinegar helps break down grease and food particles.
2. Baking Soda and Water: Mix 1 cup of baking soda with 1 cup of hot water to form a paste. Pour the paste down the drain and let it sit for a few hours or overnight. Then, rinse with hot water.
3. Boiling Water: Pour boiling water down the drain to help dissolve grease and food particles.

• Regularly clean your sink drain with a drain screen or filter to catch hair and food particles.
• Run hot water through the drain after each use to help clear debris.
• Consider using a natural drain cleaner or maintenance product to keep your drains flowing freely.
