Dealing with Drains

To keep a drain free of odor, run very hot tap water after every use. And about once every week, throw in a handful of baking soda. An alternative to baking soda is vinegar. Pour in one full cup of vinegar and let it stand for 30 minutes. After which you run very hot tap water through the drain.

Remember that it is always easier to prevent a clogged drain that to clear one. Pour grease into an empty can or a a milk carton rather then into the sink. This also applies to coffee grounds and other bits of garbage.
