At Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle, we understand how frustrating it can be to deal with a smelly dishwasher drain hose. Our team of experts has put together a step-by-step guide on how to clean a smelly dishwasher drain hose in South Tyneside.

Before we dive into the cleaning process, it's essential to understand why your dishwasher drain hose smells. The most common causes of a smelly dishwasher drain hose are food particles, grease, and debris that accumulate in the hose over time. These particles can cause bad odours and even clog the hose, leading to more severe problems. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prevent these issues and keep your dishwasher running smoothly.

One of the most effective ways to clean a smelly dishwasher drain hose is by using a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Here's a simple step-by-step process:

1. Disconnect the drain hose from the dishwasher and drain it into a bucket or a sink.
2. Mix equal parts of water and white vinegar in the drain hose.
3. Add 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda to the mixture.
4. Let the mixture sit in the hose for 2-3 hours or overnight.
5. Run hot water through the hose to rinse it thoroughly.

Prevention is key when it comes to maintaining a clean and odour-free dishwasher drain hose. Here are a few tips to help you prevent bad odours and clogs:

1. Run a cleaning cycle on your dishwasher every 1-2 months.
2. Check and clean the filter regularly.
3. Run hot water through the drain hose after each use.
4. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the hose.
