  • You don’t have to admit it, but I bet ALL of us have been in a “situation” at some point that involved a clogged toilet, and probably a lot of embarrassment. Especially if it was somebody else’s toilet! Yikes!
    Well, I am here to give you at least a little peace of mind in this area. I’m going tell you the secret to getting yourself out of a “messy” situation when a plunger isn’t at hand and you’re in crisis.
    I picked up this simple 3-step method to unclog a toilet from a plumber who visited our house years ago. It’s ideal for emergencies, since it calls on supplies that are ubiquitous in most bathrooms. (And you don’t even need a plunger to do it!)
    NOTE: THE TOILET FLAPPER IS THE RUBBER SEAL ON A CHAIN INSIDE THE TOILET TANK THAT ALLOWS THE WATER TO FLOW FROM THE TANK INTO THE TOILET BOWL. PRESSING IT CLOSED WILL IMMEDIATELY STOP THE WATER LEVEL FROM RISING AND POTENTIALLY OVERFLOWING.
    You can also shut off the water supply to the toilet as an added safety measure. Look for a handle behind the toilet and close to the floor, and turn it clockwise to shut off the water.
    For all the details check out this post on my website:

    This video is seven years old, but it helped me today. I’ve been plunging for a while with no success, so I came on RUclips to see what suggestions are there and I found this video.
    Instead of counting three seconds while I squirted out the Dawn dish liquid, I unscrewed the top of the Dawn bottle and just let three big globs fall out into the toilet bowl. And then I went and filled up two big jugs of hot water from the tap. By the time I had finished dumping in the first jug of hot water, the clog had disappeared.
    So, thank you. Much appreciated! Subscribed and liked.

I then tried a TON of baking soda, and the rest of my distilled vinegar. It fizzed, but didn't unclog it. I came across your video and poured a good amount of soap down the drain.. let it sit and added hot water. After some plunging and more hot water, the sweet sound of a draining toilet was tear inducing. Thank you! What a great plumbing secret!

    My toilet has been cloggy for 3 days, slowly drains as you flush. I didn't bother with the plunger, Googled and this video came up first AFTER I seen a guy on a site saying to use dish soap. I did use hot water from the shower head THEN I did use the dish soap, let it sit for about 20 minutes, flushed, the water rose, I thought oh sh*t then the toilet just sucked it all out! I boiled some water, poured it in, let it sit for 10 secs, then flushed and so far so good. Thanks lady! 🙃🙂

    Last weekend, I let a few high school girls use one of my restrooms 🚽 because one of them was kind enough to return one of my phones.
    As I was leaving my uber, my iPhone dropped on the pavement. Since they were so nice to return it, i asked them what i can do for them.
    They said Wawa is closed to public and all they need is some ice and use restroom.
    So I did what a grateful lady, wanted to return the favor.
    Long story short, I came back from a short trip to Atlantic city and toilet 🚽 wasn’t flushing. I was literally using the plunger for 2 hours at 15 minute intervals. And I went on You tube, found this channel, listened to your tips and voila. It flushed itself. OMG 😆 so grateful! I subscribed right away, to return the favor!

    U r a life n money saver. Saved me from embarresment of having to call my property manager to fix toliet n money from using a professional plumer. I used a medium pot filled with hot water 2 times n boiling water 1 time, so 3 times total. 1/4 cup of dish liquid. Let it set n toilet for about 10 mintues then said a prayer n plunged it. It worked. Hallaluah 🎉👍

Hot water and some slightly out of date Dove shampoo. I'm smiling. You're better than good.

    Oh my Gosh!! Jillee thank you for this! I tried the super hot water and dish detergent method and that finally put an end to a 48+ hour dilemma. I went to the store at 2am last night just to try Liquid Lightning and even that didn't work. I took a huge cooking pot from the kitchen and filled it with the hottest water (next to boiling) and after the third pot of water it finally flushed. You saved me from having to make a very humiliating (and very expensive) call to the Plumber.

    Instead of getting your hand wet, just reach under the tank and close the water valve. This also shuts water off for the rim flush. I have used the dishwashing liquid trick many times. Sometimes it takes a lot more than 15 minutes for it to work.

    • @SaintAliaOfTheKnife
      @SaintAliaOfTheKnife 4 года назад +9

      Unfortunately not everyone has a shut off valve, & even when there is one, they're not all in the same place. So rather than searching, the flapper option is good to know.

Poured the hot water into the toilet and it worked!!! Thanks for this amazing tip. Dishwashing pods are meant to dissolve food and grime so actually it’s better than liquid dishwashing soap.

I pour in some dish soap, let it have a minute to sink to the bottom, then poured in about 6 cups of piping hot tap water, let it sit for another 5 minutes or so, then plunged. Clog gone after 3 plunges. Thanks Jillee!

    I’ve been in that SHITuation. I converted the flapper into a CRAPPER. Then put a stick of Dynamite... But seriously, what DID work was to add 4 cups of HOT water then 5 squirts of dishwasher fluid. Let it sit for 10 minutes & slowly use a plunger, & flush. Make sure after you flush, hold the turn off valve so should it start to overflow you’re able to turn it off. Worked 6 out of 6 times.

      How to flush out the body is easy. Always keep about 3 bottles of refrigerated water in your refrigerator. Always drink refrigerated water day and night. As you do the refrigerated water will melt your hard dried up solid waste inside you and come out easily. The refrigerated water acts like a laxative and melts your hard solid waste. You will never buy laxative's ever again!!! You will love the new you!!!! Always drink the coldest bottle first, and rotate your bottles. What ever amount of refrigerated water you pour into your glass drink it right away. It's the refrigeration that makes it work so well 😊.

    A traditional mop works amazing as a plunger. Put the mop at the bottom of the toilet, flush so there is water above it and use as a plunger. I figure this out as I had party at my house and I block toilet 20 minute before everyone was suppose to arrive and no plunger.

After snaking my toilet and plunging it for about 2days without any results, I nearly gave up and called the plumber until I came across this video....My advice to anyone is avoid using the snake Cox I caused a lot of scratches in my toilet bowl trying to snake it..... This is how I did and hopefully it works for anyone that's facing the same scenario ....
    I boiled a very hot water over the stove(Very very hot) about 1gallon and poured about 4oz of dish soap in the toilet first. I then poured the hot water into the toilet and top it off with more dish soap about 2oz...I then closed the toilet top and let it sit for about 2hours Cox I didn't wanna repeat the steps again. I came back and the water still hasn't drain down like I was expecting. I nearly gave up and something told me to try plunging it one more time and lord be whole after plunging for about 1minute.....Voalaa it drained down magically.....Thank you so much....It really work's!!!!!
