Learn the "Secret Plumber's Trick" to Unclog a Toilet

- You don’t have to admit it, but I bet ALL of us have been in a “situation” at some point that involved a clogged toilet, and probably a lot of embarrassment. Especially if it was somebody else’s toilet! Yikes!
Well, I am here to give you at least a little peace of mind in this area. I’m going tell you the secret to getting yourself out of a “messy” situation when a plunger isn’t at hand and you’re in crisis.
I picked up this simple 3-step method to unclog a toilet from a plumber who visited our house years ago. It’s ideal for emergencies, since it calls on supplies that are ubiquitous in most bathrooms. (And you don’t even need a plunger to do it!)
NOTE: THE TOILET FLAPPER IS THE RUBBER SEAL ON A CHAIN INSIDE THE TOILET TANK THAT ALLOWS THE WATER TO FLOW FROM THE TANK INTO THE TOILET BOWL. PRESSING IT CLOSED WILL IMMEDIATELY STOP THE WATER LEVEL FROM RISING AND POTENTIALLY OVERFLOWING.
You can also shut off the water supply to the toilet as an added safety measure. Look for a handle behind the toilet and close to the floor, and turn it clockwise to shut off the water.
For all the details check out this post on my website:

Guys, I made it out safely. I made a few pet crocodiles, but overall a safe trip🤠 highly recommend

This video is seven years old, but it helped me today. I’ve been plunging for a while with no success, so I came on TH-cam to see what suggestions are there and I found this video.
Instead of counting three seconds while I squirted out the Dawn dish liquid, I unscrewed the top of the Dawn bottle and just let three big globs fall out into the toilet bowl. And then I went and filled up two big jugs of hot water from the tap. By the time I had finished dumping in the first jug of hot water, the clog had disappeared.
So, thank you. Much appreciated! Subscribed and liked.
Im on a first date with this girl and Im writing this while in her bathroom. I clogged the damn toilet and I used the bathroom trash can to pour water down the toilet and all the shit came up. Plz help!! anybody there? what I do now?
How did it go
Gabbi Reyes I just snuck out of the bathroom window and climbed down the fire escape. Deleted all contact info. I learned my lesson, from now on I will always carry a retractable mini plunger with me.

I can't believe one day after I saw this video, I was staying over at a family members house and clogged the toilet. The hot water trick worked perfectly. Thanks.
Oh heck yeah!!! This video just made my whole day better. I was plunging for an hour and nothing was happening, so I searched for something that would help and this video popped up and I’m so thankful it did! The dish soap hack slaps for real!! Thanks Jillee girl, you’re my hero ❤️😆
How long did it take to work?
I tried one half bucket of hot water and it worked beautifully!
You helped empower a divorced mom, thank you!
Still divorced?
I don’t think you should have assumed that we all know what a flapper is because I’m lost already smh. 😓
Alia exactly
Google "toilet flapper" for a visual. It's the rubber thing on the end of the chain in the tank.
Or you can open the top of the toilet and look. It’s pretty self explanatory
Just wanted to say, thank you. Never had a situation before yesterday when a plunger wouldn't do it. Was this close to calling a plumber before I saw this video. Thank you, very much!
To Ryan Lucas: These comments are miraculous and propitious, so much so that the uploader could be talking to herself!
Thank you! I had a horribly clogged toilet! Tried plunging for 2 hours. I had to take a break every so often because the smell was awful. I then tried a TON of baking soda, and the rest of my distilled vinegar. It fizzed, but didn't unclog it. I came across your video and poured a good amount of soap down the drain.. let it sit and added hot water. After some plunging and more hot water, the sweet sound of a draining toilet was tear inducing. Thank you! What a great plumbing secret!
I've been trying to plunge my toilet for like 2 hours and getting no where, added some dishsoap and tried the plunger again and I can't believe how good it worked, thanks!
After using dish soap, hot water, and toilet plunger for about two hours, toilet seems to be ok now. I hope it stays unclog...THANKS!
Thank you so much!!
That's a big Duke
i mean it will if you dont eat kfc everynight
Dear LEMD: Nice moniker.
Thank you so much for posting this. I would have never known!!!!!!! I accidentally flushed a couple tampons down the toilet due to me being stupid and I clogged and I for the life of me couldn’t get it to unclog. After some sweat and hard plunging with the hot water and dish soap....IT WORKED!!!! don’t give up y’all it took me 3 buckets of scolding hot water...you got this!
I think I’m the ONLY one who took a dump at 3am and everyone u knew was asleep. There’s a tiny bit of brown water still and I’m scared to flush it because it took so long to get it clean and trust me it’s like 90% clean
I’ve plunged many a toilet, thought I’d try this today as an experiment. Worked in one shot. Dish soap, 15 min., hot water. Perfect. Thanks for the video.
This really works! I didn't measure anything I just added the Dawn dish soap waited 15 minutes and added the hot (not boiling) water. Thanks so much.
how much water?
@@kaylaanderson3387 2 cups
This does work. Yesterday I followed the instructions, and today my toilet is unblocked. Thank you.
I've been plunging my toilet on and off since 2 am. I put some dawn in the toilet with scolding hot water and it was unclogged within 5 minutes. Thank you!
Laura Hughes i hope mine works😭😭😭😭
how hot should the water be?
@@kaylaanderson3387 Like the lady in video said"it doesn't have to be boiling water. Hot from tap will do.
@@bowtiethirteentwenty8627 Nah....i said F*CK THAT. BOILING HOT WATER, and Dawn Dish Platinum Soap. I'm done messing around with this
You only need to scald your massive shit with hot water.
If you start scolding your shit in the bathroom, you're only going to draw more attention to yourself.
This actually works!!! I had a problem with my toilet and the plunger just did not work. So I looked on line and found your video. I did like you said except I did it twice and VIOLA my toilet flushed without backing up. Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you for doing this video. Keep up the great work. Awesome when I try something that I read or watch and it fixes my problem.
Have a blessed day!
Thank you so much Jillee for this tip of how to unclog a toilet! After plunging and plunging with little effect, a few drops of dawn dish soap really worked! Thanks again!
It takes more than a few drops.
My toilet isn't even clogged, but I know what to do now.
It worked! I let the dish detergent sit for 15 minutes, and constantly keep filling the toilet with hot water(not boiling) until the water flushed. 👏🏾😌
Our toilet was just clogged. Use a plunger for more than 20 mins. No Luck. Google and saw your video. Try hot water and some dish detergent. Then use plunger 1 or 2 times. It's unclogged! It works! Thank you so much!
Instead of getting your hand wet, just reach under the tank and close the water valve. This also shuts water off for the rim flush. I have used the dishwashing liquid trick many times. Sometimes it takes a lot more than 15 minutes for it to work.
Unfortunately not everyone has a shut off valve, & even when there is one, they're not all in the same place. So rather than searching, the flapper option is good to know.
That is a much better solution than that "flapper" crap!
Turned the water off and it still flushes!
@@traceycancio1795 of course it will still flush once, it's dropping all the water in the cistern, but the cistern won't fill again if the tap is off.
To see why you're wrong, turn off the valve and flush.
Bro November 2020 has be pooping out different sizes
You just saved us a LOT of Money Jillee! I did this twice, and it worked! And we have a plumber right next door to us.
uh...you don't want a neighbor to know your sh... If you need a plumber, get one from across town.
@@robotnik77 LOLOLOLOLOL
Thank you! I have had horrible situations in which I've clogged the toilet at a cafe or restaurant I've been in, and hated having to let staff deal with the problem I created! This gives me some really useful tips on how to remedy the situation myself! Much appreciated!
How did you clog it? 🧐

@@u.sonomabeach6528 see u can answer ur own question
Two Words! THIS WORKS! I wouldn't do it at someone else"s house but we just did it and presto! We did check to make sure it wasn't the main line..
Yeah it isn’t working for me 😅
After lots of plunging didn't help, I tried this and it worked! Thanks!!! It saved me the cost and trouble of getting a plumber.
Had a bad clog and was to scared to use the plunger, so I used the hot water method and it worked like a charm! Thanks so much!
This literally JUST saved my life!! Thank you! We only have one toilet in our house and I was desperate lol
There's always the back yard. Not too cool, though, if your neighbors can see into the yard. Pinch it until nightfall.
Thank you it saved me from so much embarrasment!!!
I tried 4 different kinds of plungers. Tried the dish soap/hot water/plunger treatment twice and bam, it worked! Thank you for saving me ninety bucks for a plumber.
Oh gosh!!! This trick helped me!! I was so desperate trying to use the plunge and didn’t work but then I was led to watch your video and I tried it, worked on the third time but it was less than 5mins! So thank you sooo much and GOD bless you. 💖🙏
I'm a pretty strong and capable guy and can usually unclog just about anything. This particular instance was beyond even what I could do with a plunger. I let hot water and dish soap sit in the bowl for about 30 minutes while I also had a call in to the plumber. Within 20 seconds of plunging the clog was gone and the plumber no longer needed. Thanks so much for the video!
To Beefday: These comments are miraculous and propitious, so much so that the uploader could be talking to herself -- or talking to views and comments purchasing and editing companies.
This worked! Thank you so much! I poured a bucket of hot water with dish soap into the toilet and then plunged, repeated a few times and the clog I had been trying to get rid of all morning was gone! 🤗
My toilet has been cloggy for 3 days, slowly drains as you flush. I didn't bother with the plunger, Googled and this video came up first AFTER I seen a guy on a site saying to use dish soap. I did use hot water from the shower head THEN I did use the dish soap, let it sit for about 20 minutes, flushed, the water rose, I thought oh sh*t then the toilet just sucked it all out! I boiled some water, poured it in, let it sit for 10 secs, then flushed and so far so good. Thanks lady! 🙃🙂
You are amazing! I was having a tough time unclogging it. I decided to watch your video. It worked! You are amazing! Thank You!
I love you. Lol. I have a plunger but I’m little and not very strong, so it wasn’t working. After watching your video and doing this- It worked!! Yay! Who needs a man around the house, anyway. Thank you!! 💪 🚽
This is so helpful! My toilet was reaching toxic levels at 12am. THIS IS SO HELPFUL!🥳
Glad it helped!
Good video. I had a careless visitor that apparently used wags of toilette paper, so the toilette clogged! I used some dishwasher soap four times and four bucket of hot water. Finally when I was about to give up I used a double amount of water and the toilette drain beautifully ... it was like music to my ears ... after this I fushe the toilette and went again, you are both helpful and classy .... Thank you and keep on sharing ....
Was just about to give up and go to bed and check on it in the morning when I noticed the water drained and it worked finally. Thank you!!
I DONT KNOW HOW NEEEEDDSSS TO HEARRRR THIIISSS BUT THAT SOAP WORKS GREATSSSSSS💛 thanks for this video
The hot water worked immediately I was shocked how it flushed by itself lol thank you! ✨
Thanks to a quick search this saved my husband from an angry episode at 2am bc he clogged the toilet so bad that nothing else worked.
Little bit of dish soap and hot water unclogged it in about 45secs. Thank you!!!
Awesome video! The soap worked. Saved me the embarrassment of calling a plumber. Thank you!
Thank you dear lady. 1 million times thank you! It worked. Thank you
Thx you vary help full no sarcasm it really helped me when I was in a smelly situation 😂
You saved my life. I was trying different things from last few days. You’re idea helped a me lot.
I didn't have any luck with the plunger alone. Found this video and tried plunging with hot water and dawn and it was worked immediately. Thank you !
It works! I live only with my wife and I know I didn’t clog the bathroom and she didn’t because...she’s to cute to do such a thing;) this method kicked this mystery clog’s butt! Bit of dawn soap, teapot of boiling water, 30 minutes to sit and a pot of faucet hot water. It did what I couldn’t do in an hr with a plunger. Good luck to you all out there.
Of course you loosened it though, right? ;)
Letting the dish soap sit for about 15 minutes followed by almost boiling water has cleared many clogs I couldn't get with a plunger or auger even!
Thanks for sharing this Amber. I did what you just said, and finally got the toilet clog cleared. Despite all my efforts plunging it wasn't working. Thanks again.
thank you!!!!!
feet congratulations on being a fuckin douche👍
Jennifer Gwinn so glad it helped you out! It's my go to when there's a tough clog.. Now, if only I could figure out how to fish a toy out of a toilet without taking the thing apart! I've tried the soap method, an auger, and a plunger... No luck yet 😕
+feet 😂
Helpful vid. I didn't have dawn atm so i used conditioner & it worked almost instantly.
thank you for your video. it was extremely helpful for me!!!
I was plunging for like 20 minutes straight, watching videos trying to find the perfect technique. Then you said dishsoap. I added it in, plunged a bit to get it deeper in the pipes, waited a few, plunged again and boom! It worked! Thank you!

@@eddyvideostar not the uploader. It worked for me. I nearly flooded my bathroom, but luckily did not thanks to this. Hope it works for you too.
@@mysterykatz3000: Many have different situations: If it's the house's main sewer-line clogging, one would be uncertain about this -- even with the baking soda and vinegar.
@@eddyvideostar that's probably true. Mine was more of a giant shit situation. I definitely don't know much about plumbing if I had to watch TH-cam videos for plunging techniques. 😅
2:00 a.m. bottom of the ninth, my toilets loaded and at the crack of dawn I came across this video on TH-cam on how to unglog your toilet. My house is full of heavy hitters tonight and I need all the help I can get, So I tried it, pour a half of cup of DAWN dish detergent about 12 quarts of HOT water, used a thick plugger effortlessly, less than a minute, Oh snap! HOMERUN! I kid you not this stuff works! Thought maybe this would help someone and also save them some money! Thanks!
Oh man. I adore the shit outta ur comment!!! hahaha now I shall try, thanks for the solid description I now feel confident in my endeavour! thank you sir, THANK YOU!!!! 💪💩 🤗

I can't think of anything to comment so I'm just going to post a Blueberry pancake recipe.
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons white sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/2 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 cup frozen blueberries, thawed
1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. In a small bowl, beat together egg and milk. Stir milk and egg into flour mixture. Mix in the butter and fold in the blueberries. Set aside for 1 hour.A
2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
Thank you! I tried to unclog that Beast for Hours! I tried your trick and BAMM; The Throne flushes AND purrs like a Kitten! Now, who do I call about the purring? Seriously, though, THANK YOU!!!
This comment redtored my hope in rescuing my toilet
Yes!!!!!! Thank you so much it worked I used dove body wash and hot water... A little nervous when the toliet bowl filled so I used more soap and the plunger. When I used the hot water it went right down. It took a several times but it worked. A thousand thank u 😁😁😁🤗
Used combination of soap and hot water, and it worked. After I had tried a plunger for quite a while. Thanks for sharing the tips.
This worked super well thank you
This worked!
Thanks for this vid, got a nasty clog cleared where the plunger wasn't working.
Literally worked in seconds. Thankyou
Thanks for sharing. It really helped me fix the toilet. Learnt something and saved money too!
Thank you, was plunging for over half an hour, the water was 3/4 or more full in my toilet bowl, I put some extra dish soap in and added hot water until it was about 2 inches below the rim and soft plunged for less than a minute and it cleared. Great advice
Hello lady of many trades & master of all when I first used your method of unclogging my toilet due to a friends use of too much toilet paper. Hot water and some slightly out of date Dove shampoo. I'm smiling. You're better than good. You have a new subscriber w/notifications who has looked over your library and eager to learn from the teacher. Thankfully, warm regards to you and your's. 09/20. : )
This really helped thank you thank you.
I just tried it and it worked! I love TH-cam! lol Thank You! 💚
How can I pour in hot water when the bowl is filled to the brim? 🙄
Right😑
Nozzle at the bottom left side of the toilet turn it to the left the water will drain as much as the stuff already in the pipes let’s it
Thanks! It absolutely worked. I tried the plunger method to no avail. Soap and hot water and it immediately flushed.
Worked like a charm! Thank you!
This worked! Saved me $100 bucks. Thank you so much
This actually worked for me, took 2 tries but it worked! Lol though I can't imagine a scenario where I'm at someone else's house, clog their toilet, & then ask for dish soap without them knowing something's up😂
Cj: The truth shall set you free.
You're awesome so glad i found your channel!!:)

Soap and hot water worked great!! Thanks for saving me money!!
It works, thanks Julie!!
The place were my bf lives has crappy plumping. we tried the dish soap and it worked wonders. Thanks so much for helping us out of a crappy situation.
Amber The Collector you just had to say “crappy” and you didn’t make the opportunity to say “shitty” c’mon man

Oh my Gosh!! Jillee thank you for this! I tried the super hot water and dish detergent method and that finally put an end to a 48+ hour dilemma. I went to the store at 2am last night just to try Liquid Lightning and even that didn't work. I took a huge cooking pot from the kitchen and filled it with the hottest water (next to boiling) and after the third pot of water it finally flushed. You saved me from having to make a very humiliating (and very expensive) call to the Plumber.
The hot water worked like a charm for me. Thanks!
OMG thank u. Toilet has been clogged for 2 days! The dishloquid soap trick worked immediately!
So happy I came across this video. You saved my time and money. Thank you!🤗
We had a long-standing partial clog, and I had been trying to clear it with a plumber's snake. I decided to try dish soap plus the snake and the toilet cleared out perfectly after months of plunging every time we flushed. Thank you so much!
How to flush out the body is easy. Always keep about 3 bottles of refrigerated water in your refrigerator. Always drink refrigerated water day and night. As you do the refrigerated water will melt your hard dried up solid waste inside you and come out easily. The refrigerated water acts like a laxative and melts your hard solid waste. You will never buy laxative's ever again!!! You will love the new you!!!! Always drink the coldest bottle first, and rotate your bottles. What ever amount of refrigerated water you pour into your glass drink it right away. It's the refrigeration that makes it work so well 😊.
Had a bad clogged toilet this morning in our guest bathroom, with no help from plunging (which always does the trick) so I did the dish soap and let it sit for 20 minutes, then plunged again and GULP! Down it went and it was clear again, thank you for this!
Thank You SO MUCH! 1ST METHID WORKS WITH THE FLAPPER! GR8 JOB!
OMG unbelievable is actually work with 1 try, I add dishwasher soap into toilet then boil a medium pot of hot water poor it in, Problem Solve. Thanks you very much
A traditional mop works amazing as a plunger. Put the mop at the bottom of the toilet, flush so there is water above it and use as a plunger. I figure this out as I had party at my house and I block toilet 20 minute before everyone was suppose to arrive and no plunger.
Just did this and it worked first try. Was plunging for an hour and a half. Thanks!! Saved the money 💰!
It worked!! Thank you for the tip! I didn’t have to use a plunger!
been trying this for a week and my toilet still clogged
same
Please tell me you are lying😭
I used suave and that stuff worked so fast I was scared as hell.
IT WORKED THANK YOU‼️ The plunger wouldn’t work when it usually does but I watched ur video and I used shampoo then about 2 or 3 times the amount of water and it flushed. 😊
Brilliant! Worked for me shampoo. Thanks so much.
