Hose to unclog the toilet

Ingredients

To perform this toilet hose trick, you will need the following ingredients:

• A hose approximately 1 meter long
• An empty plastic bottle
• Sodium bicarbonate
• Vinegar

Preparation

Below, we show you the steps to follow to use the hose and unclog the toilet:

1. Start by cutting the top off an empty plastic bottle. This will create a funnel that will allow you to safely connect the hose to the toilet.
2. Next, cut the end of the hose pipe at an angle. This will make it easier to insert the hose into the toilet and help direct the flow of water toward the clog.
3. Insert the end of the hose into the toilet drain. Make sure to push it as close to the clog as possible for best results.
4. Seal the connection between the hose and the plastic bottle. You can use tape or a plastic sealant to ensure that no water leaks during the process.

Tips for unclogging the toilet

Now that you’ve prepared the hose to unclog the toilet, here are some additional tips and customization possibilities to improve results:

1. Use baking soda: Baking soda is a great cleaner for clogged toilets. Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda into the toilet before beginning the unclogging process. This will help break down blockages and eliminate unpleasant odors.
2. Add vinegar: After inserting the hose into the toilet, pour some vinegar into the funnel in the plastic bottle. The vinegar will react with the baking soda and create a fizz that will help break down clogs.
3. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes: Once you’ve added the vinegar, let the mixture sit in the toilet for at least 10-15 minutes. This will allow the chemicals to work and break down the clog more effectively.

Remember that this method is ideal for unclogging obstructions that are out of your reach and for eliminating bad odors. However, if the problem persists or the obstruction is severe, it is advisable to call a professional plumber to avoid further damage to the plumbing system.
