| hi,
I need urgent help.Three days back my bathroom got clogged and water could drain easily.Water was clogged in there for a complete day and then i got it repaired but now its stinking too much.It has been 2 days now that its stinking.What can i do for this? please help urgently. |
Follow-Up Postings:
|
| When my drains start to smell, I pour in some baking soda, followed by a small amount of vinegar. It will foam up; I let it sit awhile, then flush it with water. |
|
| Run a lot of HOT water after the baking soda/vinegar has done its' job. The hot water will force anything bad down the drain and dissolve any fats in the line. My plumber taught me this. |

| I do the above but follow with a boiling tea kettle full of water. :) It will work! Same is perfect for the garbage disposal. |

| I do much the same, but first I use the vinegar to clean my coffee pot -- then put soda down the drain, followed by the hot vinegar, then hot water. Just did this yesterday because we thought the coffee started tasting "off" -- so now the coffee pot AND the drains are clean! |
