How to remove foul smells from a drain quickly & safely

Last night when I came home from celebrating a birthday, I noticed our sink drain was starting to get a funny smell. So, I grabbed the baking soda & vinegar to fix it. Right as I was about to begin, my wife asked, "Why don't you do a video about it for your blog?" I was stunned I had not thought of it!

So, if you ever have a drain that has a bad smell, watch this brief video to learn how to clean it out and deodorize your sink quickly, safely, and easily.

There are many other ways to clean your sink, but I think this way is one of the most fun and very safe. With toxicity becoming a more and more prevalant concerns, this is a completely non-toxic way to clean your drain. Here is the recipe I use:

3-4 Tablespoons Baking Soda
2 Cups Distilled Vinegar
2-3 Cups Hot Water

Hi Jeremy, a well produced video by yourself on this topic. Congratulations on putting this together. I also liked how you pointed out it wasn't using any toxic chemicals.

What a good idea, Jeremy!  Can the next video be about how to get the kids to take the trash out?  :)

Gary- My wife & I went to a toxicity class a few months back, and couldn't believe the amount of toxic chemicals we use in our house on a daily basis.

Lisa- I will be covering that subject in an upcoming episode.  I believe it is scheduled for episode #4,218.

Now that was a wonderful video...taught me that drano isn't the only way to do it! I like the fizz part....when we have an upset tummy we drink baking soda/water and it fizzes and does the trick. Cool..thanks Jeremey..learned something new!

Jeremy, great household tip video.  In addition, you can throw some lemon rinds down through the garbage disposal to add some nice fresh aroma to the air!

Very practical cute video - wish I had time to visit. Maybe in the fall.

Jeremy...

I enjoyed the quality of the script and the video itself ... send it along to HGTV!

Fran- tell them to contact me, I am all for it :)

Sally- much more safer than drano...that stuff is deadly!

Posted by Jeremy Blanton (210 Consulting~ Social Media Advisors) over 3 years ago

Brian- that is very true...also, add icecubes to the disposal and run them to keep the blades sharp.

Posted by Jeremy Blanton (210 Consulting~ Social Media Advisors) over 3 years ago

Tracy- Myrtle isn't that far away...we have several clients in that neck of the woods.

Posted by Jeremy Blanton (210 Consulting~ Social Media Advisors) over 3 years ago

Richard- Maybe I need to just do that! haha!

Posted by Jeremy Blanton (210 Consulting~ Social Media Advisors) over 3 years ago

Thanks I'll give it a try.

We have used the same system on our drains and it works great.

Vinegar and baking soda are staples of the green home!  I'm happy to hear so many are figuring out that we don't need the harsh and dangerous chemicals that are marketed to us.

You are getting better at the videos with everyone you make.  I was impressed before but I like this one a lot.  Keep up the good work!
