Question

Can baking soda and vinegar unclog a toilet?

Answer 1

If the clog in the toilet isn't too severe or if the toilet isn't clogged by something such as a toy etc then baking soda and vinegar can work to naturally unclog a toilet.

To unclog a toilet using baking soda and vinegar take a cup of baking soda first and pour that down the toilet then if the toilet doesn't have too much water in the toilet bowl pour some boiling hot water down the toilet and then add some vinegar from the bottle slowly and allow it to sit for 30 minutes to an hour.

Then try flushing the toilet again.

If it doesn't flush yet then you may need to try plunging it to help the clog along through the pipes and then might have to use the baking soda and vinegar solution again to fully clear the clog.

If none of that works then the clog is more severe and likely needs a toilet snake or the clog could be further down the drain.

Answer 2

Baking soda and vinegar can clear and unclog some toilet clogs.

However if the toilet clog is more severe then you may need to use a toilet plunger, toilet auger or if it's really severe you may need to replace the toilet.

The clog may also be down the line before it reaches the actual sewer line to leave your house or the clog may be between the toilet sewer line and another part of the sewer line.
