Oakville Toilet Repairs & Installation

Dishwashing soap is made to dissolve grease and build up on your dishes, and it will do the same thing in your toilet. If you can get your hands on a cup of liquid soap and a few cups of hot water you’re in business. Pour the soap and hot water into the toilet; wait for 15 minutes and flush. Bleach is also a good alternative if dishwashing soap is not available.

Just like that amazing volcano you made in science class in grade 4, you are can create the same chemical reaction to unblock toilets! Go to the kitchen and grab some baking soda and vinegar. Pour one cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl, then slosh the white vinegar over the baking soda and wait for the reaction! Wait about 15 minutes after the eruption, throw some hot water down the toilet and wait five more minutes. Flush once. This is great for stubborn blocks.

If it’s still blocked you may need to get a wire coat hanger. Straighten it out and best you can and wrap a rag at the end so you do not damage the bowl. You also may want some rubber gloves as this will most likely be a little messy. This is the quickest makeshift toilet snake you can use and truly been known to get rid of some of the worst blocks in an emergency.
