- Baking soda – Baking soda is a natural deodorizer that will help eliminate stinky drain odors in your kitchen sink from rotting food bits in your garbage disposal (nasty, I know).
- Table salt – Not only does it help get rid of bad smells, but salt also breaks down grease and kills bacteria. Don’t use your fancy finishing salt for this, inexpensive table salt works great here.
- Fresh rosemary – Minced finely and then distributed throughout the tabs, rosemary adds a great fresh scent to your kitchen drain.
- Essential oil – A second element of fresh scent. You can use any scent you like. Rosemary or lemon are great options.
- Water – A little bit of regular tap water helps form it all into a paste that you can form into drain tabs. The tabs are so easy to plop into the drain whenever you need to freshen it up.
