The
Baking Soda Method Baking soda is a household staple. In addition to its proven cleaning properties, it is also a great ally in the fight against traffic jams. To use it, heat water, without boiling it, and add half a cup of baking soda. For even more effective results, add half a cup of white vinegar to the mixture. Pour it all into the clogged toilet and lower the lid. It should create a completely harmless foam for a few minutes. Check in from time to time. Once the water level has gone down, flush the toilet and wash your toilet to remove all traces of baking soda from the walls.
A powerful degreaser and formidable antibacterial, lemon is perfect for this exercise. Similarly, citric acid, which contains the power of nearly 10 lemons, also does the job very well. This is particularly useful if limescale is the cause of your toilet blockage. Pour a mixture of citric acid (or lemon) and baking soda into the bowl and let the magic happen. If all goes well, you should see the stagnant water become covered in bubbles. Exactly like the method above, let the products work and the water level drop before flushing.
