It is important to keep the bathroom and kitchen in a good hygienic and clean condition. Everything is shiny, everything is tidy, everything is disinfected, but there is only one downside: bad smells! Persistent to the point of making you sick! Don’t panic, there are natural and economical solutions. Here are some tips to neutralize these smells and make these two rooms healthier and more pleasant.

Bad smells usually come from the drains. They are not a sign of poor hygiene in your home. The pipes receive all kinds of waste: organic residues, saturated fats, kitchen or dishwashing waste. Unlike the American series, our siphons are not yet equipped with grinders … in the manifolds the water stagnates, leaving deposits along the way which, mixed with limestone, salt and other suspended minerals, decompose even more than when the center is closed! You do not have to worry or rush to buy all kinds of industrial products that are harmful to you, the family and the pipes. You have everything at hand to solve this type of inconvenience. Let’s therefore see,

How do you remove bad smells from the kitchen and bathroom?

Take urgent action with natural products

In the drainage network, the nerve center and the most sensitive is the siphon. Water stagnation can occur. This is where grease and dirt settle… It must be dismantled! You don’t need a technician for this. Prepare a bucket, a mop, soft gloves and an adjustable wrench, as well as your natural products such as   coffee grounds  .

Put the key on a plastic sleeve placed under the opening of the sink or washbasin and turn it anti-clockwise. Watch for the water that splashes out! The head and the main pipe separate: this is where the stagnant water is released, but not the rest! To do this, turn the head of the siphon down and let it flow. Now you will tackle the deposits.  Apply the coffee grounds and leave for 15 minutes  . Finally, rinse your siphon and reassemble it. Channeling is now easier, you too!

A trick against bad smells

Accumulation is therefore the cause of such inconveniences. Perhaps you have already seen it at friends’ houses:   the drain pipes   in the kitchen, toilet or bathroom are wrapped in aluminum foil. A layer of the latter protects the pipes from the cold. The heat makes the deposits more soluble and they pass the siphon test without any problems.

What to do if a pipe is blocked?

The pipes are subjected to a lot of wear and tear and can become clogged at any time. A pebble, a small bone and the accumulation begins. You must therefore prepare a paste with products that you use daily.

Mix a third of a glass of dishwashing liquid with coffee grounds and   baking soda  to create a kind of cream that you pour down the drain. Let it work and then drain the water. This way, the dishwashing liquid will attack the grease, the bicarbonate will dissolve it and the coffee grounds will disinfect and release bad smells.

Filter in your sinks to avoid bad smells

To do this, it is necessary to stop letting everything pass through the pipes.  Install small plastic or stainless steel filters on all drains  . They will retain the most important organic matter. In addition, they will allow you to drain the most polluted water to a place other than the sink or the washbasin.

As you have understood, bad smells are natural and you can get rid of them quickly with natural and economical products!
