Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you tired of dealing with smelly sink drains in your Lincolnshire home? At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand how frustrating and unpleasant it can be to have a sink drain that emits a foul odour. In this article, we will provide you with some effective tips on how to clean sink drains that smell, and when to seek the help of a professional drainage service.

Smelly sink drains are often caused by the buildup of organic matter, such as food particles, grease, and soap scum, in the pipes. When these substances accumulate, they can create a perfect environment for bacteria to grow, resulting in a foul odour. Additionally, if your sink drain is connected to a sewer system, it may be prone to odour issues, especially if the sewer system is not functioning properly.

Fortunately, cleaning sink drains that smell is a relatively simple process that can be done using a few common household items. Here are some steps you can follow:

1. Baking Soda and Water: Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of hot water. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then pour hot water down the drain to rinse.
2. Boiling Water: Pour boiling water down the drain to help dissolve any grease or debris that may be causing the odour.
3. Vinegar and Baking Soda: Mix equal parts of vinegar and baking soda to create a paste. Pour the paste down the drain and let it sit for a few hours or overnight, then rinse with hot water.

While these DIY methods can be effective in cleaning sink drains that smell, there may be times when you need to seek the help of a professional drainage service. If you notice any of the following, it's best to call a professional:
