Default moldy smell from sink

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.



Permanent fix: Stop putting organic material down the sink. Dump a
half cup of baking soda down the drain, pour in 1/2 cup of houshold
vinegar. After an hour or two, rinse.
