After that, Rochelle tried the ice chopping again, and to her relief the water ran clear.

“Pour in the baking soda and vinegar and hot water, too,” one suggested.

Another added: “Add lemon slices to give it a citrus smell…. But baking soda and vinegar with cold water will do.”

A concerned viewer explained: “Woahhh never pour bleach down the sink like that especially the kitchen sink. Bleach + vinegar gives off extremely toxic gases.”

“It only sharpens the blades, sis. Use baking soda and vinegar to clean and deodorize,” one advised.
