Does it sound a bit similar? Well, we know it is a fearful scenario, which is why we have brought to you three easy ways in which you can clear unclog your toilet. These are time-tested methods and requires no rocket science to be used. Take a look –

1. Pour hot water. Wait. Flush

This is one of the quickest and easiest methods. Hot water works magically when it comes to unclogging drains, toilets, and sinks. In this case, you need a few cups of hot water. Pour this boiling water into the toilet and wait for some time. About a minute or two must be enough. Thereafter, you can flush as usual. Hot water dissolves the dirt and grime, and breakdown the waste products. As a result, the clog loosens. Later, when you flush it out, the remaining dirt goes away with the flow.

2. Add soap. Wait. Flush

If you have some time in hand and if you find that the clog isn’t much harsh yet, this method works fine. In this method, you can use any type of soap – detergent, liquid or even shampoo – and pour it all over the toilet. Detergent works great in this case. Then, wait for it out for some time, preferably an hour for the best result. Thereafter, scrub a little with the toilet brush and flush it out as usual. As one might know, soap tends to clear the dirt by breaking even the minutest particle. However, giving it time to work is absolutely mandatory, so perform this step when you’re not in any kind of hurry.

3. Plunge it up

Before you start plunging, make sure you have a flange plunger as the general cup plungers don’t work great when it comes to unclogging toilets. Flange plungers are equipped with a rubber sleeve that manages to extend below the dome-shaped cup, section or boot. You have to be ensured that the flange is extended as you lower the plunger into the toilet. Perform this task at an angle that allows the boot to be filled with water instead of trapping air. Thereafter, insert the flange into the drain pipe and press down in order to let the boot seal tightly around the hole.

Now, push the plunge in both upward and downward direction as both these forces are required to unclog the toilet. If the clog is too harsh, you can let it sit in that position for a few minutes before working on the same. Flush after you’re done!

Don’t worry, unclogging the drainage pipe is not as difficult as it may sound. In fact, if you do it a bit diligently, you may not even require professional help. In fact, you might not require any additional help also. Simply follow these few steps to complete this household task without much effort at all –

1. Use baking soda and vinegar

One of the most effective ways to unclog drainage pipes is to use a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Simply mix 1/3 cup of vinegar with the same amount of baking soda. As soon as you mix these two ingredients, you will see it fizz. Waste no time and immediately pour the mixture down the unclogged drain. Let it sit for an hour (or overnight, if you can permit the time) before you flush the area with hot water. The fizz works great to eliminate the gunk and grime, thereby, cleaning the pipe perfectly.

2. Bent wire-hanger method

This method is relatively easier but works fine as well. You will just need a coat wire hanger for this. Straighten the hanger first and then bend one end of it so that the hanger comes to resemble a hook. Push that hook portion down the drain and keep pulling out the gunk and dirt. However, remember you will have to pull the dirt rather than pushing it farther down. Once you think you are done with cleaning the pipe, pour hot water down it – that’s it!

3. Pour Boiling Water

If you feel your sink has clogged and you want to clear it up, the easiest way is to pour boiling hot water over it. However, remember you should pour the water slowly, in a minimum of two to three stages. Wait for at least thirty seconds between the stages so as to allow the hot water to work its magic.

4. The Wet-and-Dry Vacuum Style

If you have a wet-and-dry style vacuum, you are in for a treat while unclogging drains. To perform this task, you need to use the vacuum liquids style first. Thereafter, cover up the vent in order to not create a mess. Then, make the tightest seal over the drain. If you wish, you can also adapt an old plunger head for this purpose. With the vacuum turned on its highest setting, it can be powerful enough to draw the clog up the pipe and into the vacuum bag. Thereafter, you can as usual clean the drain with hot water.
