Introduction:
It’s a situation many of us have faced—your toilet gets clogged, and no amount of plunging seems to fix the problem. The thought of calling a plumber may make you cringe, both for the expense and the wait time. But what if you could solve the problem yourself with a simple tool that most people already have? There’s a clever trick that professional plumbers sometimes don’t mention, and it involves using a hose to clear the blockage. Curious? Read on to discover how you can solve your toilet troubles with this miraculous method, saving both time and money!
Ingredients:
1 garden hose (preferably long enough to reach from your sink or bathtub to the toilet)
A pair of rubber gloves (to keep things sanitary)
A bucket (for drainage, if needed)
A towel or rag (to prevent splashes and keep the area clean)
Optional: A plunger (in case the hose trick doesn’t fully clear the blockage)
Instructions:
Prepare the Area: Start by putting on your rubber gloves to ensure the process is as hygienic as possible. Lay down a towel or rag around the base of the toilet to catch any splashes or water that may escape during the process. You don’t want to make more of a mess than necessary!
Position the Hose: Take your garden hose and slowly insert one end of it into the toilet bowl, ensuring it’s deep enough into the water but not so far that it becomes difficult to manage. You want the hose to be in contact with the blockage, but you don’t want to risk water spilling over the edges.
