THE HOW-TO COMING UP WITH THIS REFRESHER
This is the way to probably go about it. Add a couple of heaping spoonfuls on the drain and let everything just sit in for a couple of minutes (15 minutes). After the wait, pour some water (preferably hot water is recommended) on top, and let it work its magic on the way down. Finally, let your cold tap run on and rinse everything away. Good for you if water flows freely! If it doesn’t, then you might reconsider repeating the process one more time before calling for the services of a professional plumber. I usually repeat the process 3 times to make sure everything is looking and selling nicely.
You should ensure to always follow this procedure every few weeks, to prevent foul smells and blockages in your drains. For me, I do this after like six weeks or so, but it’s up to you to set the number intervals between weeks, depending on the state of your drains. For your drainage system to remain in good condition, you should avoid chemical drain refreshers, which can harm it. Also, endeavor to keep hair out of the drain. And for your garbage disposal, always make sure to get rid of the kitchen refuse that might clog your sink and cause you to plug your nose later due to a foul smell of rotting stuff.
As you make this drain refresher, you will observe some foam and bubbles coming out and if you are in a quiet place, probably you will hear some fizzing too when you add vinegar to the baking soda and salt mixture. My kids enjoy watching this chemical reaction take place. The effervescence excites them. Once you have this drain refresher, you can say goodbye to the bad smell that’s been making you peg your nostrils for a period of like six weeks until you can make another one to prevent the stinking bad odor.
