Clogged toilet
Well, you can't wait for until after 3 dumps before flushing. My toilet
runneth over. What is the best way to unclog a toilet? I've got a huge mess, it's disgusting. |

Clogged toilet
Two more things of note.
1) A bucket of the hottest water you can get out of your tub. May soften the solids, so they can pass down the drain. Well, if it's draining at all. 2) The green "RV holding tank" liquid is a godsend. Both holds down odor, and also decomposes toilet solids -- again, so they can go down the pipe. Prepared people have a bottle at home, in case the water is off, or the drain is clogged. You are right, that plunger and then closet auger are the approach. -- Christopher A.

Most of us have had our bare hands in chemicals that could actually hurt us, so quit be so squeamish about a little crap, most of which is probably your own. |

On sale last week, 35% off.
In case of excess waste. A tbsp or so of RV holding tank fluid is a big help, and some hot water. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Red Green" wrote in message ...
