Dishwasher soap is not a subject on which the Gorse Fox would normally blog, nor hold forth in polite company. However, we have suffered from a blockage of the drains, and whilst expecting this would take a few minutes to clear – has actually taken two hours.
Two hours during which the Coventry Hobbit has been reaming the drain with rods, and hosing it with high pressure jet. Meanwhile the Gorse Fox has been up to his arm pit in cold, greasy, standing drain water trying to find the source of the problem.
It turned out to be coagulated dishwasher soap that had turned back into soapy bricks and jammed completed sealed the drain.
This was not how the Gorse Fox had planned to spend his vacation… and is fairly sure this was not high on the agenda of the Coventry Hobbit when he left Thailand with Cousteau-cub.
Even after several visits to the sink with differing soaps and cleaners GF’s arm still has a most unpleasant fragrance.

I know washing powder can do this but I am surprised dishwasher tablets have caused the blockage but can't dispute your hard evidence ;-)
I think I would have treated myself to a visit from Dynarod or whatever they are called.
