hot hot water can crack the enamel of the porcelain sinks, careful! warm up the porcelain progressively from cold to warm, then hot only then start pouring boiling water. And dont waste time with paper towels. pour some baking soda, vinegar over it, wait dozen minutes for the bubbling reaction clean the mess, only then pour that boiling water in. Do it also for the overflow interior of the sink. first clog up the overflow outlets inside the piping underneath the sink plug. works wonders.

What if I have a brand new sink and plumbing in new apartment complex and overflow drain smells like bad breath when water is turned on and smells like chemical smell up close. I've tried rinsing overflow drain with vinegar and baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and loads of running water. Carpenters built "half cabinet" under sink so I can only see base of sink and one inch of piping. This means no access to pipes. Plus what if I ever needed to shut water off?? Health department states it smells like moth balls and to soak overflow drain with bleach and water. How do I plug overflow drain to soak it? Plus I'm chemically sensitive and don't want to combine chemicals. Thank you!

However, about 24 hrs later when the bleach smell dissipated, the musty mold smell was back! Our pipes are plastic, do we have to fully replace them; or, is there another way to get rid of this stink? I also tried mounds of baking soda + vinegar the night I smelled the musty mold again only to wake up in the morning overwhelmed by the stench. Help!!!

If the smell is still lingering RockstarsandMonsters make sure you have a P-trap, it's the P or U shaped pipe that holds water. This water is what makes the sewer gas disappear. But you can also pour 1 or 2 gallons of hot water down the drain to flush the nasty residue that's causing the smell. Let m know if that works and we'll go from there.

Jeff Patterson I have done vinegar/baking soda. Bleach & hot water. Bac-Out. Drano. Yeast enzymes. The smell (Kitchen sink) is PUTRID. The drain is SO clogged, drain flies come out of it. A wash basin (maybe 2 gallons of water) takes 40+ seconds to drain,,,,,,,I was in tears last night about the smell. My landlord (who lives in the house) tells me 'I don't know what to tell you to do"..........back in the day I wouldn't have hesitated to rip the pipes apart and clean the shit out. However, I am SICK of doing what is no longer my responsibility to do,,,,I'm going to hire a plumber, pay the person, and deduct it from my rent,,,,unless I happen upon a gallon or 2 or AgentOrange as that would probably do the trick. Any suggestions Jeff?? I am just so tired of this BS,,,,ya know?!!!!

@HomeRepairTutor 9 жыл бұрын

I feel your frustration tintrach - sorry to hear your landlord won't do anything. That's sad. My guess is there's either a clog or the pipes aren't vented properly. The plumber will get to the bottom of it if they're good. I'd be taking apart the pipes and checking for a clog in the P-Trap first. If the trap was clear you could then fish out the rest of the pipes with a handheld auger. They cost $30 at the local home store. Keep me posted though :D

If you clean your drain you can also take apart the drain pipe from the sink down and clean the P-trap the U-shaped pipe below the sink and then when clean take the p-trap and drain pipes and you should also put them in the freezer in a plastic bag and let them sit in the freezer for about 30 minutes the cold will help kill a residential curse that is why many houses feel haunted just from the dirty drain issues they invite bad spirits in to drain you of your energy. A professional drain cleaner or plumber can also do this for about $133 that should be the going rate.

When done cleaning the drain place a Bible or Holy Book over the drain for 23 minutes or more to make sure there are no curses left because so many drains have them.
