For difficult situations, therefore for drains that smell excessively, a solution composed of baking soda and vinegar is recommended. Together the two ingredients get rid of all persistent bad smells. First remove the drain plug and then sprinkle the sink or shower with 100 grams of baking soda. Boil half a litre of water, once the fire is off, add a glass of vinegar and pour the solution down the drain.
As soon as the water and vinegar come into contact with the bicarbonate, a light foam is formed. That is able to fight bad odours in a short time. Simply leave the mixture to act for a maximum of one night, then turn on the water jet and the bad smells will be gone.
Lemon, how to use it to make the most of its benefits
There is one more remedy: lemon which, like vinegar, is never missing when it comes to cleaning the house. Pour the juice of 2 lemons down the drain and leave it to act for an hour or two. It will be much more effective if the lemon remains in contact with the smelly drains for at least one night.
Then, the next day, simply pour some water down the drain and the smell will disappear completely. It will also leave an excellent lemon smell, giving a pleasant feeling of freshness and cleanliness for a long time.
Citric acid
Finally there is citric acid, only 150 grams are enough, which should be poured into a litre of boiling water.
Let the mixture stand for at least one night in stinking drains, be it a sink, a shower, a bathtub or a toilet, it doesn’t matter. Then turn on the stream of water and you’re done.
