We stopped using powder in our washing machine a few years ago because it was regularly blocking our drains. We switched to liquid (Waitrose essential, plus Comfort fabric conditioner).
But I still need to rod/jet them about once a year, removing long chunks of white, waxy blockage.
The drain carries kitchen sink and washing machine waste - but also the waste from our dishwasher. We do about two dishwasher runs a day. using powder tablets. So I've been wondering - could that be enough to cause blockages over time? Should I switch to dishwasher liquid?
Or is it possible that our clothes washing liquid can still cause blockages?
Any helpful comments and suggestions welcome - thanks! Are there any brands/products which are proven to be better than others at not blocking drains?
And in the meantime we are trying to put as little fat etc down the sink as possible.
