Today's toilets are garbage. In the 70s my toilet would flush down concrete bricks. Today a bit of paper and the toilet won't flush. I think it has to with the water savings feature. I'm not a plumer but it's the only explanation I have. I go fing nuts when I see that the water won't stop and begins to over flow. I go into a crazy panic. The thought of water with little pieces of crap coming over the top. By the time you get some towels it just to late. Then that water begins to cover the whole floor in the bathroom. I don't think I stopped using the f word for 20 minutes. I have had that happen and before I could stop it that crap water is coming down the wall in the basement. That's always a joy to clean up.

Dude, thank you! You just saved me the price of a plunger (and the return bus fare to go into town and get one)! If anyone else comes across this vid and has doubts, just try it anyway! I boiled a half-filled 1.6 litre kettle then filled the rest with cold water as soon as it was done to get water that was hot but not hot enough to crack porcelain. Dumped that in with washing-up liquid the 1st go, let that drain over the course of about 90 min, dumped 2nd kettle's worth in, that drained out over about 40min, wasn't feeling totally confident but gave the half-tank flush a go - boop, normal working order restored! And the washing-up liquid's cleaned the bowl a bit for me in the process!

So my 2 cents worth. My 1st 'volley' is the lethal part. The trick is preventing it from rolling up into a ball. SO I start flushing a few seconds - before - the 1st salvo, and it seems to take it away straight and clean - almost always when timed right. Also, my 1st easy attempt is 1 flush - plus - bucket of water immediately on top of it, room permitting, and I've actually seen it drop like a brick - and away. Good ol gravity at work for you. What a subject!

Rule #1: If your toilet is backed up, especially with a high water level in the bowl, DO NOT flush straightaway. Even the smartest folks are ignorant of this life lesson. Also, the method in this video does work, as I have had success.

This worked for me too and avoided a mess on my plunger. However, after everything clears up, you should still clear it with a plunger just to be sure. I used a water jet plunger that I bought for about $7.

[@daviniarobbins9298]

I don't know what the other commenters did that I didn't do but this didn't work for me. In fact thanks to you and your so-called tip my toilet is now completely blocked and won't drain away at all after two hours of trying your tip.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

No need to be rude Davinia.....plumbing can be a complex issue with toilets blocking up for a number of reasons. My method is just one of the many methods that people try and use.....l don't claim that it is the only way to do it. Many people have tried it and has worked...just look at how many comments and likes the method has. It looks as though you may have a more serious blockage that may require the need of a plumber. Good luck

[@4coolkids4]

Didn't work for me either.

[@ngobamartyns-yellowe5555]

I started trying to unclog my blocked toilet at 7 am after following your instructions and reading the comments here. No improvement after 20 minutes. I tried putting in more dishwashing liquid about 3 times and pouring hot water from the bathroom ....still no luck.I was starting to think my case was the exception and had a light bulb moment where the idea of boiling hot water from the kettle came to mind...I boiled 2 rounds of water, poured them in a bucket and down the drain and voila .....I heard that gustling noise to show all the water was going down. Did that twice and now things are back to normal. Thanks a lot for the hack. You have saved me several pounds associated with plumbing costs.🙂

@@paulwilliam4113 clog I was trying to open wasn't bad. As I flush water stayed in bowl but goes down gradually in 2 to 3 minutes to zero level. So I pour dishwasher detergent. Poured hot water and let it rest for 20 minutes. Then poured hot water. It worked.

@@shabbirs so embarrassing yet clogged toilets are a normal thing hence why Plunges were made. Today the Toilet #1 got Clogged, Mum needed to go Toilet so she went to use Toilet #2 which surprisingly was also Clogged💀. #1 got Clogged and somehow came out #2. Spent a whole hr trying to figure out wtf happened

Jan 4th 2024, my teenager wakes me up at 5:00 am to tell me that the toilet was plugged. My kiddo had been trying to plunge it for quite awhile before waking me up. I went in and also tried plunging the toilet 🪠 with no success. I came across your video, and I'm trying it now. Dish soap and Hot water are in there hopefully doing their things now. I'm waiting the 20 min. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽.

[@andersonibekwem9459]

Guys, it actually works. Advice here; buy a very cheap washing liquid as you will need to use half the bottle for it to be effective. Like the above example, mine was blocked to the top rim. I was actually going to call a plumber 'til I saw this video. CHEERS, MATE!!!!!

Idk wt to say.... U r the saviour. Tnx a lot man. I'm an Indian🇮🇳 student studying in China🇨🇳, im living in an apartment in China. Unfortunately today our toilet got blocked and I tried a lot of work with the plunger bt it didn't worked and finally saw one video of abt 2 or 3 million views that didn't worked, and next I got recommendation from KZbin for your video and I did exactly the same thing u said in ur video except one thing, I used detergent instead of dishwasher. And did the same procedure u did and waited for 20 minutes and read the comments of ur video I got happy that so many ppl got help by ur simple video bt thought mine won't be successful bt after 20 mins I poured water again and did some push with plunger and I got that sound.... The most relaxing sound........ Actually u had saved my 600 Chinese yuan. Thanks a lottttt. Lott of love ❤❤and respect for u by an Indian🇮🇳 from China🇨🇳.

[@gregoryrobertson2755]

Had to go through the process a couple more times than talked about in the video, but it eventually worked on the worst clog I have ever had in my 66 years of life due to a "water efficient" toilet that takes many, many flushes even for a little crap. Do research before you buy a so-called water efficient toilet. If it doesn't work immediately, you still have the benefit of a lemony smell instead of a stink, and if you keep at it, it will work!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Purserverance paid off Gregory...well done. Yeah l'm always dubious about water efficient products!! :-)

Thanks for the tip, UK! I will give that a try for the next basic clog. You do say to wait about 20 minutes after adding the dish soap and slow-poured hot water. That is plenty of time to get a few dishes in. Why not take advantage of that downtime? 😉 ... in the kitchen sink of course.
