We tell you from SCS Group how to unclog toilets effectively. Take note!

There are several unclogging products on the market with which to clean the drains, this time it will be our toilet. But, they are usually expensive products and in the face of complicated traffic jams, they are not very effective.

The solution is to use home methods and above all free.

Different methods to unclog a toilet

• The mop trick:

All we need is a mop and a plastic bag. What we should do is tie the plastic bag on the mop, in such a way that the mop would be inside the bag. We introduce the utensil that we have manufactured in the drain and make movements in and out. Repeat these movements until our drain is unblocked.

• Liquid dishwashing detergent:

With this product, what we achieve is to dissolve the fat accumulated by the jam. It comprises introducing the detergent into the drain and then pouring hot water with soap, leaving it to act for 20 minutes. And ready!

• Bleach:

We introduce the bleach into the toilet and let it act for about 30 minutes and check that we unclogged it.

• Using a manual plunger:

The plunger generates a vacuum in the drain that presses all the waste to remove the blockage. We place the plunger in the toilet’s hole and we make movements up and down until leaving real cleanliness of drains.

• The hanger trick:

We stretch the hanger, and immediately afterward we introduce it through the toilet we will make circular movements until we unclog the drain.
