servicing the sewer hose

Howdy. Did a search on this topic found nothing. perhaps different wording would help. Best way to clean out the sewer hose? Bleach? Soap and water? Advise please. Thanks!

  • Why do anything more than run water through it?
    There's no reason to make it spotless.
  • After each use, a simple thorough rinse before stowing is sufficient. If, however, you are wanting to clean the stinky slinky for some reason, hot soapy water with a long handled scrub brush will do the job. Afterward, a bleach water rinse will sanitize, followed by a fresh water rinse. Don't leave bleach on the plastic as it will accelerate deterioration of the plastic.
