Clogged dishwasher drain hose: Thanks for all your help!

Nov 08, 2013 1 Replies

A while back,



I had asked folks here for some advice about unclogging my dishwasher drain hose. Your advice was very helpful, thanks.



Frankly, the TSP did not clear the clog by itself. I followed your other suggestions, disconnected the drain hose from the disposal as you explained how to do, and reamed it out with a mini-snake. Then a wash cycle with TSP managed to flush out the rest of the gunk.



It was a real chamber of horrors in there. Smelly and moldy. I had to wear a mask.



And since then, I've found other great uses for TSP. It's really a great cleaning aid.



Please be careful who you tell. TSP was outlawed for laundry detergents. It's no longer legal to put a couple tablespoons of TSP in with your laundry, along with the detergent. In some states, it's no longer legal to use in dish washers along with the detergent.
