Brilio.net - The toilet is one of the sanitary equipment used for urinating and defecating. Usually the toilet consists of a hole connected to a septic system.
The toilets themselves have various types, such as sitting toilets and squatting toilets. Well, the use of these two types of toilets is not free from problems. One of the problems is that the toilet is clogged so the smell spreads everywhere.
There are several factors that can cause a clogged toilet. Apart from lack of maintenance, there are usually foreign objects trapped in the toilet drain. If this is left alone, the toilet will not be able to be used as usual.
As a solution, a number of people deliberately sprinkle baking soda into the toilet hole. Just add table vinegar or plain water, then wait a few moments. Over time, the clogged toilet drain will eventually clear up on its own.
But there's no need to worry if the stock of baking soda at home is running out or running out at home, because there are other kitchen spices that can be used to deal with clogged toilets. This method was used by YouTube user Kiki Lampung.
How to deal with a clogged toilet.
Reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Kiki Lampung on Thursday (29/2), one kitchen spice used is salt . First, dissolve 2 packets of salt with 5 scoops of water in a bucket. Stir until smooth.

If it is completely mixed, the salt solution can be used immediately. How to apply it is fairly easy, just take the salt solution using a ladle and then pour it into the toilet hole.

Do the same method until there is no remaining salt solution left. If it's finished, let the toilet sit for a few moments.
"Let this sit for 6 hours, don't use it," said the owner of the video.

After leaving it for 6 hours, the drain in the toilet was running smoothly again. Not without reason, as reported by thespruce.com, salt is effective in dissolving blockage material in toilet drains. If it is no longer clogged, you will no longer smell the smell from the toilet. Just practice this method straight away if you experience similar problems, okay?
Factors that cause clogged toilets.
There are several factors that can cause the toilet to become clogged, including:
1. Blockage by foreign objects.
One of the most common causes is a foreign object trapped in the drain, such as tissue, sanitary napkins, or other objects that do not dissolve in water. This can cause water flow to be obstructed or completely stopped.
2. Excessive use of toilet paper.
If too much toilet paper is used in one flush, it can also cause a blockage.
3. Buildup of crust or mud.
If it is not cleaned for a long time, the toilet drain can develop a buildup of scale or mud which blocks the flow of water.
4. Lack of maintenance.
Lack of routine maintenance such as cleaning the toilet regularly or using cleaning chemicals can also cause buildup that causes clogs.
5. Improper drainage.
Defects in the drain such as incorrect pressure or poor connection can also cause blockages.
6. A septic system that is not functioning properly.
If the septic system is not functioning properly, for example because the septic tank overflows, this can cause the toilet to clog.
To prevent the toilet from becoming clogged, it is recommended to use the toilet according to its function, ensure that no foreign objects enter the toilet, clean it regularly, and carry out routine maintenance on the septic system. If the toilet is still clogged even though you have taken precautions, you should immediately contact a repair professional to deal with the problem.
