Causes of clogging in the
toilet bowl There are two main reasons:
- in the pipeline was stuck in some big thing. For example, a floor cloth, a diaper, food rests, a plastic bag, etc.
- the pipeline has decreased in diameter - this is a natural process. Over time, various layers are deposited on the inner walls of pipes, sometimes completely clogging them.
The toilet in the apartment can also be denied if the total sewer pipe is blocked by neighbors from the top. In this case, you can not solve the problem yourself.
How to eliminate the obstruction in the toilet using improvised tools?
Below are the funds from simple blockages.
Perhaps the simplest thing is a bucket of boiling water. It should be at right angles and quickly poured into the toilet. Under a strong pressure, the plug softens. Since the water is hot, the layer of fat that has accumulated in the bend dissolves. This method can be used to clean the pipe from paper.
Warning: use caution not to burn yourself with boiling water!
Another popular method is ordinary baking soda. How to eliminate the litter in the toilet bowl by soda? Scrubbed soda should be dissolved in water: the active alkali reacts with the contents of the sewer and removes clogging.
Chemicals for cleaning the toilet
You can deal with an unpleasant problem with chemical liquids, sprays, granules and powders. The most famous of them: "Mr. Muscle", "Mole", "Flup", "Pothan".
Do not use chemicals in the presence of plastic pipes.
Elimination of a litter of a toilet bowl by mechanical tools
The necessary thing in an economy is a plunger. It is enough to put this tool in the center of the hole and make some sharp movements. It is important to remember that for more effective cleaning you need to seal all drain holes sealed. To the rubber part of the plunger is not stuck in the receiver, nail it to the handle with carnations.
Strong lining of the toilet bowl is cleaned with a plumbing cable. This device is immersed in the toilet receiver. In this case, one hand directs the cable, and the other - pushes it with rotational movements until it stops. After that, pull the cable back forward and not sharp movements. If necessary, repeat the procedure.
Do not use a metal cable to clean chrome pipes, plastic corrugations and pipes with thin coatings: you can damage the inner surface.
It is not necessary to buy a cable, it's not difficult to make it yourself. To do this, a flexible and not very thick piece of metal cable is useful. Its tip is slightly bent and inflated: so it will be better to move along the bends. Twist the other end into a ring.
Another homemade tool - a doll-crush. It is very easy to make from a stick and rag.
The folk remedy is a plastic bottle cut off from below. Such an adaptation is lowered into the toilet bowl with a cut end and pressed sharply onto it.
