Now a days, there is common query among the reader is how to unclog a toilet without plunger.

No doubt, the best way to unclog your toilet is to use a toilet plunger. But sometimes we don’t have the right tool on our hand. If you need to clear a toilet clog and there is no plunger available with us, then you can try some other options.

In this article we will discuss some other methods you can try.

Reason of a toilet to clog?

There are several reasons of clogs in the toilet, but the main reason –

• Paper – Sometimes paper creates all problems of clogs in the toilet or in the drain.
• The another most common reason of toilet clogs flushing items that shouldn’t be flushed. Some items that we should not flash like tissue paper, cotton balls, sanitary products etc.

Plungers feature a flap that creates a seal inside the toilet, taking advantage of the water pressure behind the clog to force the obstruction out of the bend and into the pipes. The next best option is a toilet auger.

But it is important to clear a toilet clog without a plunger. Sometimes you may not have plunger nearby. Without plunger, there are some limitations which depends on the specific nature of the blockage.

Homeowner can clear most toilet clogs. But if you found any unusual object is blocking the flow or you don’t all the required items then it is better to call any professional plumber.

Let’s check all the option you can try

1. Dish Soap to unclog a toilet

Discharge about a half-cup of dish shop into the toilet. If you don’t have dish shop nearby then you can try hand soap also into small chunks and drop all the pieces into the toilet.

Let’s check how its works.

Dish shop has a slippery nature itself. This slippery nature can help to provide lubrication for easier movement of items which is stuck in the pipe. But this step could be ideal for minor clogs. But in more stubborn clogs, sometimes the lubrication may not work properly. This step may be ideal to help non-flushable items slip through the pipes.

Some items like small toy or cloth diaper might move it to another wider position of pipe. The main trick is passing the soapy water through to the clog. If the clog is start moving slowly, then wait until the water level in the toilet goes little down. Then add some soap water and flush again.

2. DIY Wire Hanger Drain Snake

Straighten out a wire coat hanger. Then try to push one end of the wire into the clogged area. Continue this until it becomes flows and free down the pipe. A drain auger is a good option, but the wire hanger will also work in a pinch.

3. Baking Soda Mixture

Make a mixture of two cups vinegar and one cup baking soda and push into the toilet. Now wait for half-hour and allow it to fizz so that it can break up the clog.

How it works

You might recall from high school; this is the same chemical reaction that’s taken place in an old “volcano”  science experiment. But in the toilet, will that work?

This chemical reaction can help to break down some items and may works for some kind of minor clogs. But the effectiveness may depends on clogs created in the pipe. But for more hard clogs this step might not works properly to clear the pipes completely.

4. Use a Plastic Bottle

Another method you can try to unclog your toilet. First you need to remove as much as water you can from the toilet bowl and then fill a large plastic water bottle with little warm water. Now keep your thumb over the top of the water bottle and place the top end into the outlet at the bottom of the toilet bowl. Please wear rubber gloves for this step.

Now remove your thumb so that you can squeeze the bottle. In this way the warm water shoots down into the pipe. This extra added pressure could  help to dislodge whatever causes the clog.

5. Add Hot Water

First, you need to fill a bucket with hot water and then you need to discharge it into the toilet from. There is a chance that hot water force could clear the clog.

Let’s check how this step works.

There are two major aspects to implement this step. The temperature of the hot water and the height we are throwing the water. There is a chance that hot water can help to break down some materials and loosen some clogs. The extra added force of the falling water mimics the oomph of a plunger, which is similar as a miniature waterfall.

But we should not use complete boiling water. If we use complete boiling water, then there is a chance that it can crack a porcelain toilet.
