EASIEST WAY TO UNCLOG A TOILET WITHOUT A PLUNGER


What Happened

Yesterday, i was extremely frustrated, especially because i had a serious case of toilet clog. i mean the worst you can imagine. I dont want to go into details because it was completely gross, and to make it worse, i had wasted tons of liters of water to flush the clog down , but to no avail, and i had no PLUNGER.

After few hours of frustration, with many liters of water wasted down the drain, and an even messier toilet, i  had to think fast of what to do next, and a walk to the mall to buy a Plunger did not seem convenient. 

I had to think outside the box, and that is when this idea came to mind, which worked perfectly ,much better than the plunger would have. 

In two simple steps, here is what i used.

  • Powdered washing soap. Yes the one you use to wash clothes.
  • Hot water

After Boiling  a generous amount of water, about 7 liters, i mixed a generous amount of powder soap, about 4oograms, or possibly more. I was going extra on everything because i needed this to work.

 I stirred and  mixed the Hot water and the detergent well in a pail (bucket) , and gently poured the mix into the toilet bowl. I stood there in anticipation and watched for the results. In a matter of 5 SECONDS , literally, everything went down the drain like there was no mess just quarter a minute ago. All the clog flashed smoothly, cleaning everything else. I stood there looking at a sparkling white toilet bowl, and i just could not believe it worked. The detergent mixed with hot water also eliminated the awful stench that was brought about by the mess. 

 After this experiment, i now think unclogging a toilet with a plunger is a bit messy, and a bit old school. It makes the whole process way harder and there's a great possibility of coming in contact with the sullied and contaminated toilet water, and the malodorous smell, very unhygienic. 

        

so next time you are having trouble with your toilet, you might want to consider this simple, easy and effective.

if you don't have powdered soap, i am convinced that any type of detergent should do the trick, as long as put in a generous amount. The logic here is to lubricate and make the stuck up clog flash smoothly.


Hope this hack helps you next time.


Your trully,

I will try This out

However, I use one hand pump,.i don't really know the exact name for it.

So with this info, i.will try it next time.

Soft work u did here

hand pump? am assuming that is the plunger , yeah? after that experiment, i honestly think they are messy. hehe

it's usually grease that clogs pipes, or at least bind the materials together that is making the clog.. so using soap will dissolve the grease and often loose the clog up enough to make it run smoothly again. Obviously, getting rid of clogs without using chemicals is to be preferred but soap can do in a pinch like you found out :)

True, but there was no grease in this toilet. think i will use the same trick for my sink, when it clogs.
