‘Miracle’ Potion

If your toilet becomes clogged, simply mix dish soap with hot water. This genius trick, as Expressen writes, is both simple and in principle completely free.

Directions:

1. Heat up four liters of water in a pot (not boiling hot)
2. Pour about half a cup of dish soap into the toilet
3. Gently pour the hot water into the toilet

It doesn’t get easier than this!

Note that it may take over 15 minutes before the toilet becomes unclogged. If it doesn’t work the first time, simply repeat the procedure. Should that not help, do call a plumber.

This ‘miracle potion’ works because the dish soap, in combination with hot water, dissolves whatever is stuck in your toilet — similarly to how it dissolves food residue on your pots and pans.
