    Smell in the kitchen sink.
    When we woke up there was just a funky smell in the kitchen sink... no clog. It smells sewage like. I have done a disposal cleaner, Liquid Plumber and there is still a smell when I lean in to sniff OR whenever water runs it sends the smell out... any ideas?? Please help! :)

    Try This. Tonight before bed time pour a quart of bleach in the disposal and let vit set overnight. Next morning take a large pab of boiling water, (this is important) and pour it it the disposal to flush it out. Cutting a lemon into quarters and running it through will also make your disposal smell better, good luck and thank you for rating my answer, Tom

    We also did a baking soda vinegar mixture before :)

    We were desperate and happy to try anything! :)
