It’s my first time cleaning out my kitchen sink trap because the smell that was emitting. I found part of the problem as there was a solid caught just before the trap but after running my fingers along the edges of the connecting pipes was a brown and dark grey sludge? i mean it smells like death and has the consistency it poop. is there anything other than replacing that i can like run a homemade concoction down or buy a drain cleaner to clean the pipes?
