Unclogging your toilet the fun way
Filed Under Green Living, Home
So the dear hubby decided to go out and purchase toilet paper other than the recycled Trader Joe’s toilet paper. This ***unrecycled*** toilet paper was much thicker than the recycled stuff we usually get. Lo and behold, the toilet developed a stubborn clog that no amount of plunging would disloge. With visions of getting a Toilet Auger wedged into the porcelain basin, I decided to research alternatives to clearing the clog that didn’t involved lots of potentially caustic chemicals. The recipe for unclogging toilets with stuff you already have in your home:
- Remove as much of the water standing in the toilet basin as possible.
- Dump 1 cup of dishsoap and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, boil a large pot of water (3-4 gallons).
- Let the hot water sit for another 10 to 15 minutes.
- Plunge to dislodge the clog.
- Flush the toilet a few times to make sure the debris flushes through the system.
- Repeat process for those really stubborn clogs.
