Portable dishwasher (not the countertop one, the sort on wheels) wasnt draining right the last two days. Real sputtering noises and then still full of water. I went through this 6 months ago and worked on it every night for a week before buying a new drainhose for $70, which fixed it but didnt want that again.
Was able to clear it out with these little pipecleaners weve got for drinking straws. Luckily, the clog was near the end so it could reach, since this thing is like 8 inches.
That’s what we get for having a bunch of oatmeal get past the filter
It looks annoyed at having to go through such indignity.
You could try an enzymatic/bacterial cleaner, especially if you know something went down the drain.
It’s supposed to eat and break down the gunk that collects on the walls.
It seems to work for me. I use it as maintenance and removing the source of odors.
I use this once a month. Is this the sort of thing you mean? Or is there some other sort of thing you are talking about?
The one I use is “Drain Defense” by Zep
