Default Clogged dishwasher drain hose: Thanks for all your help!

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.

.... go to the paint section, buy the red box of TSP, _not_ the green
box.

Real TSP can be bought for cleaning and painting. What is it now, 80
years?

Salt water has phosphorus that glows in the water at night, already.

Fish overcome and adapt - hooah!
