Brilio.net - Blocked toilets are often a common problem at home. This can be caused by various factors, such as buildup of toilet paper, spillage of other insoluble objects in the drain, or accumulation of organic waste. When the toilet becomes clogged, activities carried out in the bathroom will certainly be disrupted.
However, there are still ways that can be done to overcome this problem. For example, by dismantling the drain in the toilet and/or calling a toilet suction service. If you want an easier method, you can sprinkle baking soda on the surface of the clogged toilet. After investigating, baking soda can help dissolve blockages in toilet drains.
But besides baking soda, you can also use other ingredients. There are a number of kitchen ingredients that can be used to overcome a clogged toilet. This kitchen ingredient was used by the TikTok account @skill.rumahan through one of the uploaded videos.
Reported by BrilioFood on Friday (29/3), the kitchen ingredients in question are salt and cooking vinegar. Well, these two kitchen ingredients basically have properties that can help dissolve or break down substances that cause blockages.
In the video, TikTok user @skill.rumahan admits to using krosok salt or coarse salt. However, if you don't have any, you can use fine salt that you have in the kitchen. For the measurements, just prepare 7 tablespoons of salt and 20 drops of cooking vinegar.

So, how to use it, you can directly pour the salt and vinegar into the clogged toilet hole. After that, let it sit overnight or 24 hours. If so, flush the toilet with hot water to dissolve the remaining salt and vinegar. This will make the toilet run smoothly again as before.

Basically, salt and vinegar have a very important function in dealing with clogged toilets. Salt can help dissolve or break down substances such as toilet paper or organic waste that clog toilet drains. Then when the salt dissolves in water, it forms a solution that can help erode or dissolve the blockage, making it easier for water to flow.
On the other hand, vinegar contains acetic acid which has the property of breaking down organic substances such as food scraps or sewage waste which may be the cause of blockages. The acetic acid in vinegar can help soften or dissolve these substances, making it easier for water to flow down the drain.
