Naturally eliminates bad odors from pipes

🌿 Safe for all types of pipes and eco-friendly!

5. Keep Your Drains Moist (Bathroom Fix)

If you smell something foul from an unused bathroom sink or shower, it may be a dry P-trap. The U-shaped pipe under your sink is meant to hold water — which prevents sewer gases from rising.

Fix: Run water in unused drains once a week to refill the trap. You can also pour a teaspoon of cooking oil in the drain afterward to slow evaporation.

🛑 What to Avoid

• Chemical drain cleaners: Harsh and corrosive, these can damage pipes and harm the environment.
• Bleach: Although it kills bacteria, it doesn’t remove the gunk they feed on.
• Pouring fats and oils down the drain: Always scrape them into the trash instead.

🧽 Preventative Tips

• Use a drain strainer to catch food and hair.
• Run hot water after using the sink.
• Clean your drain naturally every 1–2 weeks.
• Avoid flushing coffee grounds or fibrous food down the kitchen sink.

🌟 Final Thoughts: Fresh Pipes, Happy Home

You don’t need chemicals to keep your pipes clean and fresh. With just a few natural ingredients — most of which are already in your pantry — you can eliminate odors, break down buildup, and keep your home smelling amazing.

So next time your sink starts to smell off, reach for baking soda, vinegar, lemons, or salt — and let nature do the work!
