A blocked toilet can be a frustrating and unpleasant experience, especially when you're in a hurry. The water level in the bowl rises, and you're left with a mess on your hands. But before you call a professional, try this DIY method to clear the blockage.

Yes, you read that right! Washing up liquid can be used to unblock a toilet. The soap in the liquid helps to break down the blockage, making it easier to flush away. Here's how to do it:

Start by pouring a bucket of hot water into the toilet bowl. This will help to loosen the blockage and make it easier to work with.

Next, pour a generous amount of washing up liquid into the toilet bowl. You can use any type of dish soap, but make sure it's a liquid, not a powder.

Allow the mixture to sit in the toilet bowl for a few hours or overnight. This will give the soap time to work its magic and break down the blockage.

If the blockage is still present after the soap has had time to work, use a plunger to try and unblock the toilet. Make sure the plunger is properly seated over the drain, and then push down and pull up quickly to create suction.

If the plunger doesn't work, don't worry! You can try using a drain snake or a wire hanger to fish out the blockage. Once you've removed the blockage, flush the toilet to test if it's working properly.

If the washing up liquid method doesn't work, you can try using other methods to unblock your toilet. These include:

• Using a plunger with baking soda and vinegar
• Using a drain cleaner
• Using a toilet auger

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

• Only flush toilet paper and human waste down the toilet
• Avoid flushing sanitary products, wet wipes, and other non-biodegradable items
• Regularly clean your toilet and drains to prevent buildup

If none of the above methods work, it's time to call a professional. At Blocked Drains York, we have the expertise and equipment to clear even the toughest blockages. Our team is fully insured and trained to handle all types of drainage jobs.
