Actually, there are several methods to do so, but we will explain below only the best and most effective ones. I’m sure you have everything you need to apply them, so it’s up to you to choose the technique you will finally use.
How to unclog the bathroom toilet
Surely the typical traditional suction cup plunger comes to mind, which of course you can use, but it is very likely that you are not aware of other methods that can be even more effective. We explain them here:
Use a mop
It may sound a little strange at first, but believe us when we tell you that this home remedy works like a charm. Cover a mop with a plastic bag, making sure it doesn’t have any holes in it. If not, this trick will not be effective, or at least not completely.
Then insert the mop into the toilet opening to plug the pipe completely. Move it up and down. If you do it right, you will achieve a vacuum effect similar to that achieved by a classic plunger. With two or three movements you will unblock the pipe, but if not, repeat the process as many times as necessary.
Vinegar plus baking soda
Pour a cup of 250 grams of baking soda, pouring it directly into the toilet. Let it gradually go down to the bottom in the water. Once it is at the bottom, pour two cups of vinegar of about 500 milliliters in total. You will see the chemical reaction produced by the combination of these two elements perfectly.
Close the toilet lid and let it sit for at least one hour. After this time has elapsed, you can use it normally again, as the pipe will be unblocked. This home remedy also works if the reason for the clog is an accumulation of toilet tissue, for example.
Use a wire or a hanger
It is not the most widely used method, nor is it the most popular. In fact, we dare say that very few people know about it. However, we guarantee that it is very simple as well as effective. Simply take the hook from a hanger, or make a hanger shape with a wire, and insert it into the toilet until you find the clog.
When you find the clog or the reason for the clog, try to remove or break it so that the water can flow normally again. However, you must make sure that the hanger or wire you use does not fall off, as this will aggravate the problem. Once these three tricks have been exposed, it’s up to you to choose the one you find most useful and easy. Lots of encouragement!
