Another simple method to avoid or resolve a blocked Flush Toilet:

  • take a soft, flexible plastic bottle (I use a orange juice bottle)
    • where the bottom is about the width of the pipe
      • the closest fit avoids anything coming up to 'greet you'

Cut off the bottom, retaining the cap.

Insert the cut off bottom of the bottle into the pipe entry.
Push the bottle in and out 4 or 5 times.

When pushing in, the bottle will fill and out it will empty

  • exerting pressure on the remains.

This created pressure will force the remains through the pipe.

Flush and continue pushing the bottle in and out until the bottle is clean.

The whole process is over within minutes.


An existing plunger did not work for me (not enough pressure).
The orange juice bottle now hangs on the plunger stick, ready to use when needed

  • and is now used as a part of the general bathroom cleaning process

Finding such a bottle is much easier than a plunger and the process is faster than waiting for a plumber (who mostly useuses a machine to create the needed pressure to send the remains on its way).
