Everyone, even the most careful homeowners, encounter blockages.
However, a plunger is not always at hand, and it is not able to help in all cases.
Let's figure out how to get rid of a blockage using improvised means.
Simple ways to get rid of a blockage
If the blockage is not old, hot water will come to the rescue. Just remember that boiling water cannot be used, so that the plumbing product does not crack.
If that doesn't help, there's a way to "boost" hot water. Pour a bucket of hot water into the toilet, add a few tablespoons of dishwashing liquid, wait 20 minutes, and flush.
The third method is to use a combination of soda and vinegar. After removing water from the toilet, pour in a glass of powder, then pour in two glasses of vinegar and leave the resulting mixture for 2 hours.
If you have a plastic bottle at hand, you can cut off the bottom and use the improvised tool as a plunger.
