Best solution to unblock pvc waste pipe

    so in my kitchen I have one circuit of pipe that goes to an outside drain , where it comes inside the house its t pieced at the dishwasher, goes on to a t-piece at the kitcehn sink then goes on around 2 corners and then theres a straight pipe up for the washing machine outlet, the only place there is a trap or access is under the sink .

    the sink and dishwasher work fine so the blockage is between the sink and the washing machine somewhere, its not a 100% blockage as water will drain off really slowly, Ive tried bleach, drain cleaner and even a wet dry vac to remove the blockage.

    is there anything really strong that will definitely destroy the blockage but not the pipes ?

    Something like this would be best.

    You will have to disconnect the trap.

    Just be aware that if ou start poking at it with the device above you might pull out drain cleaner so wear glasses

    To be honest I think it might need to be redesigned which won't cost you much DIY. Can you take photos
