2. The Lemon Juice Method Lemon juice, with its degreasing and antibacterial properties, is an effective remedy for clogs, especially those caused by tartar. Here’s how to use it:
- Mix citric acid (or lemon juice) with baking soda.
- Pour the mixture into the toilet bowl.
- You should see bubbles forming as the reaction works on the clog.
- Allow the mixture to sit until the water level drops.
- Once the water level decreases, flush the toilet.
3. Bonus Tip: Pipe Maintenance Regular maintenance can help prevent clogs:
- Avoid disposing of anything other than toilet paper in the toilet.
- About once a month, pour coffee grounds down the drains to clean the pipes and prevent odors.
- Be mindful of the amount of toilet paper you use to avoid blockages.
If hair is causing a blockage, knowing how to deal with it effectively can help prevent clogs from forming.
