Despite daily washing and regular cleaning, it often happens that unpleasant odors emerge from the kitchen.
This mainly happens when lime-rich water accumulates in the pipes, blocking the dirt that stagnates and generates bad smells.
So let’s see how to get rid once and for all of the sewage smell that can come out of your kitchen pipes!
· With white vinegar
White vinegar comes first among natural and effective solutions.
This ingredient proves to be a real must in cooking, laundry and cleaning, white vinegar brings excellent results where many different detergents fail.
Using it to eliminate sewer odors in your kitchen pipes will save you time and, in most cases, money!
Just fill a bucket with boiling water and pour half a liter of white spirit vinegar into it.
Being careful not to burn yourself, pour the vinegar down the sink pipes and wait overnight before turning on the taps. The next day, the smell will be gone!
· With cooking salt
Among the many things that are never missing at home is table salt.
Used primarily to season dishes, this ingredient is used for many home-cleaning home remedies.
In the case of pipes, the procedure is the same as for vinegar: you will always have to fill a bucket with hot water and pour 1 glass of salt into it.
Carefully pour it into the pipes and wait several hours for it to work properly.
