handyman pours dish soap into toilet – when he shows why? I Ran to try it!

Pour about a cup of dish soap into the toilet bowl. You can use regular dish soap (like Dawn) that you have at home.

Let it sit for 15-30 minutes. The soap will work on softening any clogs.

Flush the toilet. After the waiting time, try flushing the toilet. The soap should help loosen the clog, and you may find the toilet flushes normally.

Tip:
If the clog doesn’t clear up on the first attempt, you can repeat the process or follow up with a plunger for a more direct fix.

This simple method is easy, inexpensive, and can often save you a trip to a plumber for minor clogs. Just make sure to not use too much soap, as it could lead to too many suds!
