How Do You Get Rid Of A Mildew Smell Under A Sink & Dishwasher?
There’s no need to use harsh chemicals like ammonia or bleach to remove a mildew smell under a sink and dishwasher. Vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda deliver a one-two-three knockout punch to both mold and mildew. All three are natural substances that will not harm family pets or small children, and they are safe for the environment. Follow these simple steps to eliminate mold and mildew odors. Remove everything from under the sink. Discard items that are are damp or have mildew on them. If possible, move the dishwasher out from under the countertop.

Mixing diminishes their effectiveness. Spray the affected areas with the vinegar. Allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes, but don’t allow it to dry. Although the odor of the vinegar may be unpleasant for a short time, it is completely non-tox
