Thick beach V's Thin bleach

I have a problem, cheap thin bleach is significantly cheaper than thick branded fragranced bleach.

I'm not too fussed about fragrance, but there must be something that I can add to it to cake it up a bit, any ideas?

Basically my kitchen sink needs a bit of bleach throwing down it every couple of weeks, otherwise it smells, so I'd like to save some cash and thicken up some cheap stuff as the thin stuff I think drains to quickly.

Any ideas?

Tar!

Oh cool does that actually work, some kind of chemical reaction?

Thanks

But cheap generic thin bleach is half the price of cheap generic thick bleach!

Fairly sure the answer is no said:
maybe try taking off the ubend and cleaning it out, might help remove most of the smell, and it's easy to do. unscrew with hand, clean, rescrew. just make sure you don't empty the contents of the ubend into the sink.

also why does it need to be thick to work? thin stuff will still be on the surface working away.

I didn't consider the U bend actually, I think that's where I'm going wrong! thanks!

Get some caesium and throw it down there. Then just run the water hard for a few seconds. This is what plumbers do alllllllllllllllllllllll the time.

Ahh yes, I remember that experiment from school, should probably fix the issue, and take care of that pesky kitchen wall at the same time!
