Bar of Soap Clogging the Toilet

RE: Bar of Soap Clogging the Toilet Post By Lydia Echerd (Guest Post) (07/20/2008) We have tried Drano, hot water, &, a snake. None have worked. My suggestion is go to Lowes & buy a new toilet. We have been waiting almost 2 weeks and the soap still has not melted. Thanks.

Now I can't unclog it! I tried a snake, but it's broke or something. And also a plunger. So, hot water will work?

I know this from dumping a pot of hot water down the toilet. Be forewarned, you do NOT want that melted!

It wont take long. I would add the water softener to the Hot water. Use buckets to pour down the bowl drain.

By the way, this is the only time he has said to use that stuff for anything lol. He hates that stuff but since it is only for soap - it should be fine. Good luck. Report Spam or Abuse
