Default A/C Drain Tube

Where and how is the best way I can clear my AC drain tube.The dealer did it last time,but probable blew air into itand just blew the crap back up into the evap core box.Now I'm getting a water slushing sound and moisture on pass floor.I have a VACULA..I use for flushing brake fluid. Anyone use this up the tube to suck the debri out??Also what about a deoderizor into the air intake? Any type that is popular? Thank you for your help.

if you lift the car it's not hard to just remove the tube and clean it IMO

Most easily reached from underneath the car. It is between the passengers side exhaust manifold and the fire wall. It is a tube coming out of the firewall and turns 90 degrees downward. When you get down there you'll see it. I guess you could try sticking some kind of vacuum device up the tub to see if it can suck anything out. Let us know how you do.
