Bar of Soap Stuck in Toilet Tank Drain?

My mom put a bar of soap into the tank of the toilet because the detergent thing has spoiled. When she flushed, the bar stuck at the hole. So now the flush lever has to be pulled more than 1 time (or could not be pulled) to fully flush. Anyone have any ideas?

I might not be understanding the location of the soap bar, because from what I'm understanding in your question the soap is located in an easy to reach spot; I would have gloved up and pulled the thing out of there by now.

Is that possible in your situation?

Ok...here's the REAL solution that I wish I had come across. I tried all the others...Coke, bleach, hot water, vinegar....nope. I did some powerful thinking about it, and thought...a flexible tube about one inch in diameter could be shoved down the thing and push the soap on through. I got about a three foot piece which I had in my shop, and, after having bent the end a few inches to create a bind, shoved it through, forcefully turning as it wound its way down.

Eventually , I hit the soap. I did it for about fifteen minutes, pushing and turning, and finally felt a give. It worked! I wish I had read this before.

I got the same problem..i have been using different tools to unclog our toilet but it didnt work until i finally tried using the hollow leaf stalk of a papaya.its soft and doesnt get break easily. it reaches the bottom of the toilet to break or push the bar of soap .i poured hot water too to soften the soap and it worked!

My grandson tossed a NEW bar of soap into the toilet and flushed..I tried hot water, plunging for it seemed like hours on end. Nothing helped. I finally ended up taking the toilet off to see if i could unclog it from the bottom, nope.

Decided at that point to go buy a new toilet as the other one was old anyway. I took a hammer to the bottom to see exactly what was clogging it. FOUND, one bar of soap, very mushy and one Chip Clip..
