How to Unclog a Blocked Toilet Without a Plunger
What would you do if your toilet got clogged and That's too at a time when all nearby shops are closed and you are going to host a pajama party?
This blogpost might help someone facing such a situation. This is a simple method for unclogging a toilet, and you need only two things. One hot water and another shampoo. While there are other methods of clearing a toilet drain, this is a great option and should be given be given a chance for unclogging a toilet because you don’t have to touch the water. Before spending dollars on a plumber or changing your toilet pot or its pipeline, try this cost effective method first.
What you will need:
1 clogged toilet (works best when someone has shown his generosity with the toilet paper. . LoL), A generous amount of cleanser or surfactant (i.e., Dawn Dishwashing liquid, shampoo, liquid soap, or any other cleaner that gets sudsy), Hot (but not boiling) water, A bucket or a basin to transport water to toilet.
This will only work with a toilet that is not overflowing and has some room to hold extra water.
(I am too sympathetic for squeamish people: The picture of the blocked toilet was not created with actual bodily excretions.)
STEP 1: ADD SHAMPOO AND HOT WATER.
Take your bottle of shampoo/ soap and squirt a generous amount into the bowl.
Now put a bucket of very hot water from the hot tap (not boiling).
Fill the toilet full, That's sufficient. Do not try to make it overflowing.
Why you should not use boiling water is because in extreme temperature variation, boiling water usually cracks the toilt pot. (I have personally seen it in Leh/Laddakh where temperature goes below minus 25 degree C, though I have not personally tested this while following this method specifically. Also, I do not have the money to buy a new toilet).
Now you can have a cup of tea or coffe or whatever you want to allow some time and let the blockage 'marinate'.
Cheers, now you can use yr Toilet. . . Dont forget to flush it again before using it.
