How do you unclog a toilet?

Quick Unclog

Pour about 1 cup Dawn dishwashing liquid into clogged toilet; let rest for about 1 hour; flush. In most cases, the toilet is unclogged and flushes easily.

Answer easy

hire a plumber

Our tried and tested tips!

Tip a bucket of hot water rapidly from as high as possible (well,maybe up a ladder's going a bit far!)-stand back!


Next step if that's a failure-use a stick...........wire next.........and if that doesn't produce the beautiful music of stuff rushing rapidly away to where it's supposed to go,then try a cut off length of garden hose(better ask the gardener first!They sure won't be wanting it back when you're through with it).

If that doesn't work,then you'd better find a nice ,quiet corner of the garden and start digging!

Try this

A plunger would be the first tool to use in a clogged toilet situation. If that doesn't work, you can try the other remedies described above. Another option to pouring stuff down the toilet or digging, try using a "snake" through the sewer vent pipe. At worst, an electric "snake" unclogger can be rented at a local Rent-All business for about $25 per day (a lots cheaper than hiring a plumber).
