Don't blow the drains out - I think you can end up (archive)

accidentially blowing the tubes off the drain holes and then they will never drain correctly. Conventional wisdom is to use wheed whacker or other stiff yet flexible line to push through and clean out tubes. Then when draining correctly some have poured a weak bleach solution to inhibit further growth in lines.

Thanks for responding; one more question.. the drainage holes in the suunroof, where do these canals lead to, so i can blow both ends out with the air compressor?
