If the sink and drain are not cleaned properly, a sewage smell can arise in the bathroom or an unpleasant smell from the kitchen sink. Fortunately, both parts can be managed with a few simple tricks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several reasons why a drain in either the bathroom or the kitchen can smell like sewage. One of the most common reasons is that the drain is clogged. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read along here and learn about some of the most common reasons why the drain can smell like sewage.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;116317&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;189857&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;168388&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A full water trap<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A full water trap is often one of the causes of the sewage smell in the kitchen or bathroom. The problem arises when, for example, food residues, hair, soap residue, dirt and other things get stuck in the drain. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why it is important that you remember to empty the water trap regularly &#8211; then you avoid bacteria getting into them, which causes the bad smell. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dried up water trap <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the water trap is dried out, it can cause problems with sewage odors from the drain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Under the hand or kitchen sink there is a pocket water trap, which is designed to prevent bad odors from rising into <a href=\"https:\/\/focuspluscph.com\/badevaerelse\/haandvaske\/\">the sink<\/a> . If the sink has been standing for a while without being used, the water can evaporate, which puts the water trap at risk of drying out. And this gives rise to a very bad smell.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coatings in the overflow hole in the sink <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If deposits form in the overflow hole that sits on the edge of the sink, it can also cause the drain to smell like sewage or rotten eggs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you overfill the sink with water on a daily basis &#8211; for example in connection with washing dishes by hand &#8211; a leak of dirty water can occur, which can give off a bad smell &#8211; typically due to bacteria. This helps to spread the smell in the kitchen and out into the rest of the home. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, it is important to keep an eye on how much water you fill in the sink to avoid odors from the kitchen sink. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;166286&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do I clean a drain that smells? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the drain has started to smell like sewage &#8211; either because of the water trap or for other reasons, it is a good idea to take action to prevent the bad smell from the kitchen or bathroom from spreading throughout the home. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We guide you here on what you can do to get rid of the unpleasant odors from the drain. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Use vinegar and baking soda<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vinegar and baking soda are some of the best remedies to use when you want to fight sewer odors from the drain. Mix a cup of baking soda and vinegar and pour it down the drain. Leave it on for about half an hour and then rinse thoroughly with warm or boiling water. It will help dissolve deposits and remove odors from the kitchen sink and in the bathroom. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Use drain cleaner <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also try using ordinary drain cleaner that you buy in the supermarket to remove bad odors from the drain. To achieve the best results, it is important that you follow the instructions on the product. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Use water and yeast <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to try a completely different method, you can also try your hand at something as simple as water and yeast. Take a cup of water and dissolve a packet of yeast in the water. When it has dissolved, you pour it down the drain in the kitchen sink and let it work overnight. It helps to dissolve the residues that are stuck in the drain and thus relieves the bad smell of sewage. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;116321&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;162154&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;191322&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is how you prevent the drain from smelling<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular drain cleaning is one of the best things you can do to prevent the sink or drain from smelling like sewage in the kitchen or bathroom.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By taking care of the sewer system and the drains regularly, you can avoid the drain becoming clogged with soap residue, hair and dirt, which cause the drain to smell rotten. Therefore, avoid flushing large amounts of hair and food residues down the drain when you shower or cook. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, it is a good idea to regularly clean and empty the water trap with soap and water. If you want to be extra thorough with the cleaning, you can also use a bottle cleaner to clean the drains once in a while. It helps to prevent the drains from becoming clogged and thus causing sewer smells. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are not at home for a period of time, it is a good idea to pour a small amount of water into all sinks in the home to prevent the water traps from drying out. It all helps to prevent unpleasant sewage odors in the home. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air out to avoid mold <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bad smells in the bathroom do not necessarily have to be caused by bacteria from sinks and drains. In fact, it can be caused by mold, which often occurs in bathrooms because the environment is typically warm and humid. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid mould, it is important to ventilate the bathroom properly. Poor ventilation can worsen odor problems. Be sure to wipe away the water <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/focuspluscph.com\/en\/bathroom-tiles\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the bathroom tiles<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">every time you have showered and open the windows if possible.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this way, you can ensure that mold is not allowed to settle and cause an unpleasant smell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want more inspiration on how to keep the bathroom clean?
