Defunk your kitchen/bathroom sink

Defunking the kitchen and or bathroom sink

Taking you back to grade school with this kitchen solution….

With all of the things that pass through the sink and disposal, bacteria is sure to build up whether you see it or not and not matter how much you clean out your sink. For years I ran to bleach but no longer. Seriously, I was a total bleach freak! I used to run for the bleach for everything. Remember the man from My Big Fat Greek wedding with the Windex? That was me, only with bleach!  These days I try not to use harsh chemicals and the kitchen sink is no exception.

I've tried the citrus peels, lavender oil, salt etc… Honestly other than the racket I made with the disposal trying to grind the peels, I always ended up having to stick my hand down the drain to retrieve the lemon peels, it didn't really work.

If you have vinegar and baking soda, you can do this. Personally, my kids love to defunk the sinks for me and if I weren't sharing this idea with you, I wouldn't’ bother measuring. But, It’s really a more of a dump and pour type solution. You will probably end up doing that too. Just a sneaking suspicion... 

Directions:

1 Cup baking soda

2 Cup vinegar

Do this on both sides of the sink.

1. Pour baking soda directly into sink.
2. Pour in vinegar and watch and hear the magic happen! ( it should look like a mini volcano, like in elementary).
3. Run water to clear the drain and run garbage disposal for a few seconds.

Don’t worry, the smell of the vinegar dissipates within moments.

Tadaaa! You’re done!
