Do you have a snake? It is a long wirey things that winds down into the drain and can push out the clog or whatever is smelly.

We actually rent a big electric one from the rental place about once a year and hubby does this theough the outside drain to keep things clear.

Another option if your hubby is handy is to turn the water off, take the pipes apart and clean them then re-install.

Is it the garbage disposal? I will sometimes put a dishwasher tablet in there with hot water and run the disposer.

Hope you get it worked out!

You don't say if it's your garbage disposal or not but when mine has a smell, I cut a lemon in half, put one a time in and run the disposal. That has always worked for me. I also second using a snake as well if the lemon doesn't work. Good luck! :)

Did the Drano work. If the Drano went down easily nothing is stuck. Try so e bleach. That might do the trick.

try ice and soap. That has worked for me in the past.

Do you mean your garbage disposal? I use ice to clean my garbage disposal - just throw a handful or two down with the disposal running. Then, after that, put a lemon down there - just quarter the lemon and throw it down to get ground up.
