Tips for Fixing a Clogged Toilet

DIY Solutions to Unclog Toilet

• Plunger Power: Plungers can be an indispensable ally in clearing clogged toilets. Ensure that when using one, ideally with an extendable rubber arm to fit directly into the drain opening and ensure a tight seal. Give several vigorous up-and-down plunges until the clog dislodges itself or proper water flow has resumed. This pressure may help dislodge obstructions to restore the proper functionality of the toilet.
• Hot Water and Dish Soap: Heat some water in a pot before mixing in some dish soap for extra sturdiness. Pour this hot mixture from above into your toilet bowl so it falls forcefully; both heat and soap work to break up clogs quickly! Repeat if necessary to unclog further obstructions.
• DIY Drain Snake: When plungers don't do the trick, creating your own DIY drain snake using a wire coat hanger may be easier than expected. Simply straighten out one end, creating a hook at one end, before inserting this hooked end into your drain to break apart or retrieve any clogs that have formed.
• Baking Soda and Vinegar: Baking soda and vinegar is a classic combination for breaking down minor clogs in toilet bowls; start by pouring about half a cup of baking soda followed by one cup of vinegar in your toilet bowl and wait a few minutes before flushing to see if your clog has cleared away!
