Bleach To Unclog Toilet

Answer 4

Never put bleach or Drano in a toilet. Drano can actually damage the china, and if the two should ever combine with each other, deadly gas can result and even explode.

This may sound un-orthodox but anybody that has ever tried it says it worked. Get some liquid Dawn brand dish washing detergent (just regular old Dawn that you use to clean dishes) and add about five or six good squirts of the soap into the clogged toilet. You don't have to remove the water or anything, just add the soap right into the clogged bowl. Wait about ten minutes or so, and the drain will be opened. If it is a really stubborn clog, a little light plunging may be required to get things moving. It usually works on the first application. For harder clogs you may have to repeat a second time to clear things completely. The grease cutting action of Dawn breaks up the gunk that causes the clog! Give it a try, you have nothing to loose. If you do, let us know if it worked as well for you, than it has done for many people.

I wish you well, and many happy flushes!

It is best to use either a plunger or a toilet snake to clear a toilet. It is also somewhat dependent on what is creating the clog. The reason I don't recommend liquid is because of the physical design of the toilet itself. All toilets (except maybe a few commercial models) operate on principle of gravity, the weight of water, and the principle of displacement. You can not see it on some toilets, but inside the base past where the "contents" leave the toilet, there is vertical p-trap that the water has to follow during a flush. When you press the lever on the tank to flush the toilet, it lifts a flapper that releases the water in the upper tank at a rapid rate. This raises the water level in the bowl above the air trap in the toilet. When there is no clog, the water begins to flow through the trap and out the drain, creating a vacuum inside the toilet that pulls the rest of the water out of the bowl. However, if there is a clog in the trap (where most clogs are) the water cannot begin to flow out the trap fast enough to create a good vacuum. If you are merely pouring more liquid into the toilet, it will either slowly flow out or overflow the toilet. By using a plunger, you are actually creating a positive pressure inside the trap against the clog. Create a high enough pressure, and the clog breaks free and goes down the drain. You need a toilet auger (or snake) for clogs that will not be forced down. The purpose of the auger is to physically cut through whatever is the clog, or in the case of toilet paper and baby wipes, cut in enough to hook them so they can be pulled back out and thrown away.

Answer 6

1. Plunger
2. The boiling hot water is not a bad idea especially if your sewerage drain is tied into your kitchen drain(where some people pour grease down)
3. There are a couple of products that will actually burn through a clog and clean out the rest of the line. A couple of the name brands of these products are Hot Power and Liquid Fire. These products are actually concentrated Sulfuric Acid and should be used with extreme caution!! You should be able to find these at your local hardware store.
4. Bleach is not the greatest idea for cleaning drains, it will only kill any algae that is built up in the pipes and it will kill the good bacteria in your houses septic system, if you have one.
5. A drain snake works for major clogs and/or a Drain King, which is basically a balloon that attaches to the end of a garden hose and expands in the pipe while releasing high pressure water to unclog the drain.
6. Last but not least call a plumber, but expect to pay for it!!!!

Answer 7

SAFETY FIRST: I usually pour a little bleach into the toilet when it's stopped up, then let it drain away, next pour-in a bucket full of hot water and let that drain away before I feel safe working on a yucky plugged toilet just because I feel it's more sanitary. I am not that strong so I have to use my weight on the plunger: Take a bath towel and fold it into a big pad and hold that securely on the end of the plunger (to protect hands and stomach) then insert the plunger and holding tight, lean on the plunger handle to plunge.

If mischievous CHILDREN in YOUR HOUSEHOLD: If you try the plunger & hot water bucket methods and it still doesn't work, and then you put an auger into the toilet and it still doesn't work, you would need to remove the toilet, take it outside & turn it upside down. Once we had a little green apple and another time my brother had a jar lid caught in the pipe. The lid would flip from one side to another to allow some stuff to flow past but he couldn't retrieve it the way it was lodged in the pipe.

Next time I'm going to try jam 961's dishwashing soap method.

Answer 9

The good ole fashioned plunger for starts...Bleach is a good way to keep the pipes unclogged.

Answer 10

Use a Plumbers Friend..........aka Plunger.

If this doesn't work you will need a sewer snake to break the clog. and if that does not work then you will have to pull the toilet and snake from the opening to the sewer.

Answer 11

Plunger is best. If it isn't in danger of overflowing, try pouring boiling water down the toilet.
