Dishwasher overflow

Oh, the problems of the modern world. If one does the dishes by hand, this problem no longer exists!😁

It’s interesting how something as simple as vinegar can help tackle that buildup in the drain tube. I never thought about using it in the washer like that. I’ll give that a try next time I do my dishes. It makes sense that even with rinsing, food waste can still accumulate. Kudos to you for tackling the messy part under the sink, too!

Who needs a plumber?

Unhook the pipes.... take a photo of the inside and then just mask the ickyness out and rebuild it.

Oh wait. Darn real world things do not get cleaned up in Photoshop.

Dear Adobe please make a version of Photoshop that allows us to use it in the real world.

Kidding of course.  That sucks.  We have water damage at the moment and have 6 machines running to dry things.  Such a mess.  4 to 6 weeks of running those machines nonstop... then they will put everything back together and repaint.  Such a pain in my rear end.

I'm puzzled and lost, I thought this was the Lounge, but it seems that I'm in the kitchen 😉

Yes, and I routinely take apart and clean all the sinks' P traps...

Yeah, that dishwasher sludge is nasty and the trap on mine is really difficult to reach. Unfortunately, vinegar alone doesn't always get the job done. I have to periodically get on hands & knees and climb into my dishwasher to get the assembly apart.  It's one of the worst household chores ever. 

But white vinegar is a+++ for cleaning the microwave.  Place vinegar in a small coffee/tea cup.  High power for 2 -3 minutes.  Wait 30 minutes.  Wipe down interior and door with clean sponge dipped in vinegar.  Rinse.  Pour leftover vinegar down your sink for fresher smelling drains.

Good suggestion.
