I have two sinks in my kitchen. One main sink, which gets the majority
of the use and one sink in the island, which gets little use. The
island sink drain emits this moldy smell all the time. I've tried
putting bleach down there, nothing, the smell comes right back. Is
there any way to get rid of that smell permanently?


thanks.


Is the drain vented? If not, see hehttp://www.rd.com/19540/article19540.html

To my unprofessional eye, it looks vented. The pipe comes out of the
disposal, loops down then up as high as it can, before looping back
down and into the floor, but unlike your photo there is only one loop,
not two. Could the mold be building up at the bottom of the loop?
Also, this kitchen was installed about a year ago, it's all new stuff
and I started noticing the smell about 6 months ago.
thanks for your help.

My disposal gets smelly once in a while........I tried feeding some
lemon peel through disposal
and it seemed to cure the problem. I'm sure there is plenty of gunk
that can hide from cleaners
that are just poured down the drain, like the underside of splash-guard,
etc.
