Unblocking your toilet is sometimes necessary when cleaning your bathroom, especially if something has become dislodged inside the toilet or in the drain. Luckily, the majority of toilet blockages can be dealt with by using a few household products you are likely to already have in your home.
All you need to do is pour half a mug of washing up liquid into your toilet so it forms a ring around the bowl.
Then, pour the rest of it in the water before leaving it to set for 30 minutes.
Next, take a bucket if hot water and pour it into the toilet.
Leave it for another 10 minutes before flushing your toilet.
After 30 minutes, if the water level is back to normal, it means the blockage has cleared and you can flush the toilet.
Baking soda is a very handy product to have around the house and can help you with any cleaning task, not just unblocking a toilet.
The next method is a “slightly unorthodox” way of unblocking your toilet, according to Drench, as it involves using cling film.
Simply add three layers of cling film to the top of your toilet and press it down firmly in order to create a seal.
Then, flush the toilet and the cling film should balloon upwards.
Push down gently on the ballooned cling film, reversing the suction caused by the flush which should dislodge the blockage in a similar way to a plunger.
Two other methods Drench recommended were using a wire coat hanger to dislodge anything in the u-bend, and unblocking the toilet using your hands and a pair of gloves.
Consider using eye protection while trying out the latter method in case of any splashes.
