If you’re dealing with a foul smell coming from your floor drain, you can use a simple and natural solution to get rid of it. Here’s how to do it:
Ingredients:
- 3.5 ounces (approximately 1/2 cup) of baking soda
- 1 cup of white distilled vinegar

Instructions:
- Start by boiling 2 cups of water.
- Once the water is boiling, add 1 cup of white distilled vinegar to it and mix well.
