Let’s face it — clogged toilets are never fun. Whether it’s due to too much toilet paper, flushed items that shouldn’t be in the toilet, or a slow drain from buildup over time, dealing with a clog can be frustrating. Most people immediately reach for a plunger, but did you know there’s a simple, inexpensive way to clear a toilet without one? With a little patience and some household items, you can unclog your toilet quickly and safely.
What You’ll Need:
-
Liquid dish soap – Any standard dish soap works. Its slippery texture helps lubricate the clog.
-
Hot water – Not boiling, but very hot tap water. Boiling water can crack your toilet porcelain, so caution is key.
-
A bucket – For pouring water into the bowl.
Step-by-Step Guide:
-
Pour in the dish soap
Start by adding about half a cup of liquid dish soap directly into the toilet bowl. The soap helps to lubricate the clog and break up any stubborn buildup, making it easier for water to push it through. -
Let it sit
Patience is key here. Allow the dish soap to sit in the bowl for 25–30 minutes. During this time, it seeps into the blockage and starts to loosen the trapped material.
