Saw an ant on the back deck a few minutes ago.

Good afternoon!

Quick question for you all....what could be causing a smell coming from the kitchen sink? It’s not a rotten smell, more of a metally from the pipes sort of thing?? It kind of comes and goes but just wondering if anybody had a thought of what could be the cause??

 

A dirty garbage disposal will do that !!!

Clean with mixture of baking soda and vinegar then rinse with bleach

 

Disposal?

 

30 more for me

 

Try lightin it, will it burn?






No reason other than playin with fire is fun.

 

I’ve used those Plink things (garbage disposal cleaner/refresher balls) and I did run bleach through it? The smell went away but seemed to come right back.

 

Hit 40° today, foggy start because it was just so damn warm.



About 11 looked out and a lot of the ice had melted. And the truck had worked its way down the drive to do a flex on the edge of the snow.



Hate when that happens, gives me goosebumps to look out and not see it where I parked it. Do like that the ice is melting. It should I put 75 lbs. of ice melt down yesterday.

 

There's all kinds of remedies that don't work. I use Dawn detergent and lots of hot water. Can't really scrub them.

 

Have you ever tried Quercitin with Bromelin? My ENT told me to take it daily and I haven’t taken allergy pills since?

 

That actually could solve a lot of other issues at the same time.

 

Try the baking soda and vinegar and then let it sit for 15 minutes then flush with water and finish with a cup of bleach

 

I take Alavert. I have a military doc so they're limited. Stuff here grows and usually dies off pretty quick so it's not too constant. Though no telling this year.

 

I’ll give it another go when I get home! I use Dawn detergent anyway so why not!

@US Marine - I haven’t tried baking soda and vinegar down the drain. I do use it to clean the sink. Makes it a real nice shiny white!

Thanks guys! I’ll try both when I get home. If nothing else I’ll know I have a clean disposal.

 

Thanks, I will try it.

 

The Quercitin with Bromelin (which I think is pineapple based) is an over the counter thing. It’s like an all natural sort of thing. One side benefit is it is also a natural anti inflammatory.
About 5 years ago I became allergic to all kinds of trees and grasses.

 

There must be a million little butterflies flying around. I have never seen so many.
