The drain in my kitchen sink smells. What can I do to make it go away?

I recently moved into an apartment, and the drain in my kitchen sink smells. I remember hearing once that putting something down the drain and running the garbage disposal helps the smell go away, but I can’t think of what that something is. I’d be very thankful if anyone can help me clear out this smell before it gets worse.

Its a temporary solution, but try lemon or orange peels, that has always worked for me, and they smell really good going down the garbage disposal.

Vinegar gets rid of most smells. Try vinegar and baking soda together, as my mom does.

If the smell is really bad, I dump 1/2 box of baking soda into the garbage disposal drain and let it sit (take your pick 5-10 or more minutes). Then I rinse it down, w/out turning on the disposal. If that doesn’t work I throw in some limes, lemons or oranges and turn the disposal on. That usually does the trick. And, I also throw in about 20 ice cubes each month (or when I remember) to sharpen the blades and clean any gunk off of them.

You have some great suggestions - I would do one of them…
There is also a garbage disposal cleaner out there…..but if you have bleach/vinegar/baking soda…you should be fine.

por some baking soda in drain then add some vinegar and let it fizz and bubble to clean and deoderize. Or you can run a orange or lemon thru your garbage disposal

1 cup baking soda dry poured into the drain… add 1 cup white vinagar… It will foam up like crazy let it sit for 30-40 minutes and rinse down it will remove the smell…
You may have to do treatment a couple times for really rancid drains…
You can also use in garbage disposal just use 2 cups of each as the space in the garbage disposal is larger… Once a month quarter a lemon and place in disposal with just a trickle of water running let it grind away and it will add a fresh scent…
