How to clean the kitchen sink and drain
After getting the sink wet, sprinkle baking soda on the sides and bottom and let it sit for a few minutes. Then scrub the sink using a scrubbing brush. Rinse the sink when you are done.
Keep the drain clean and smelling good by mixing water with various mixtures. You can use a baking soda and white vinegar mixture with water. You can also use a salt and water mixture to cut down on any grease that is in the drain. You can even try a hydrogen peroxide and water mixture as well.
