Tips for unclogging a clogged toilet

Toilets are an indispensable appliance in people's lives. With the improvement of people's living standards, they have been upgraded from simple squat toilets to toilet-type toilets, which have brought great convenience to people's lives, especially for the elderly with inconvenient legs and feet. However, toilet-style toilets also have big problems. Frequent flushing will cause blockages, which brings great trouble to everyone. This article will briefly introduce some tips on how to unclog a toilet. Let's learn about it together.

Tools/Raw Materials

Large bucket, round-headed brush, iron rod or rubber stick, plunger, simple toilet flusher

Steps to unclogging a toilet

The most commonly used and effective method is to prepare a large bucket of water and then pour it directly into the toilet. This will allow the toilet to be filled with a large amount of water and will allow it to be unblocked quickly.

Prepare a simple laxative at home, which is something with a round-headed brush on one side and strung together with an iron rod or rubber stick. It is sold in supermarkets and small shops.

If the above two methods do not work, it means that there is an object blocking the position between the toilet and the sewer. You can use the above two methods in combination.

Keep a plunger at home, or go to a daily grocery store to buy a simple toilet flusher. A plastic one costs only 2 yuan. Once the toilet is blocked, it is easy to use. Fill the squat toilet with water and then use the toilet flusher suction bowl to aim at the squat toilet opening and pump a few times. It uses the air pressure to clear the toilet, and the effect is very good.

How to identify the cause of toilet blockage

To confirm the cause of the toilet blockage, if it is an object that is difficult to dissolve in water, it is necessary to distinguish whether it is soft or hard. Blockages caused by soft objects such as sanitary napkins and towels are easier to deal with. There are special toilet unclogging tools on the market which are easy to use and sold in ordinary bathroom hardware stores. They can generally solve blockages caused by soft objects. For hard objects such as small bottles and cans, if there are no accidents, you must find a specialist in unclogging pipes to use a special machine to help.

Precautions

A clogged toilet is no small problem. If you find that the toilet is clogged, deal with it immediately. The above four practical tips are effective for common problems of feces clogging the toilet and have been proven to work. But as the saying goes, prevention is better. You can usually pour some toilet cleaner into the toilet, without brushing it, cover it for about ten minutes, and then flush it with strong water. Do this once every few months. This can effectively prevent common toilet blockages, saving time and effort. Why wait until it is blocked and then spend time and effort to unclog it?
