What can I pour into my toilet to unclog it?

Answer by  toothpick (57)

I am not sure about some homemade concoction, but there are plenty of options available off-the-shelf. They are usually very toxic acids that try to burn away the waste that is causing the clog. Its pretty nasty stuff, and you are probably better off using a plumbing snake.

Removing a clog physically is always better than using a chemical solution. They now make new types of plungers that move much larger volumes of water than the old rubber kind. Make sure that your plunger is filled with water and push away - that usually works amazingly well.

There are a number of things that could have clogged the toilet. I don't think that any mixture will unclog the toilet at this point. First try a plunger to see if you can dislodge what ever may be stuck in the toilet. Try a drain snake. Next step is to remove the toilet a professional may be required.

Although a mixture of baking soda, vinegar and hot water can unclog a sink drain; it may not work for a toilet. A plugger is the most effective method.

Two tablespoons of Baking Soda 1 cup of vinegar. Pour into toilet. It will bubble. Chase it with 4 cups of boiling water.

I have used "Drano" before, but I have to say, it doesn't work that well... Their advertisements make it sound like you just pour it in the toilet, and the problem is solved... but in my experience, it doesn't quite work like that.

The best thing to do is just go buy some drano. Or you can buy something like drano. It's not a good idea to try to make your own.
