Clean the sink completely , especially the edges of the drain and the walls.
Pour 2 to 3 liters of hot or boiling white vinegar down the drain. This helps disinfect the pipes and dissolve residue.
Leave to act for a few hours , or even overnight, temporarily blocking the sink with a stopper or a cloth.
The next day, rinse with hot water .
Rub the drain with half a lemon to neutralize odors and add natural fragrance.
Dry the sink thoroughly.
Place a sheet of absorbent paper over the hole.
Turn a glass (or thick plastic) cup upside down over it, so that it completely covers the sink inlet.
There you have it! In just a few minutes, you’ve protected your kitchen from the inconveniences of absence.
Why not just plug the sink?
Many people ask, « Why not use a regular stopper? »
In reality, sink stoppers aren’t always completely airtight. They can also dry out or move slightly while you’re away, especially if the sink is slightly tilted or if there are temperature fluctuations.
The glass turned over on a sheet allows a passive, pressure-free closure , which limits air exchanges and mechanically protects against intrusions.
