Brilio.net - A clogged toilet can be a very annoying problem at home. A clogged drain not only makes it difficult for water to flow, but also causes an unpleasant odor that interferes with comfort. The main cause of a clogged toilet often comes from the accumulation of toilet paper, leftover food, or other objects that are difficult to decompose.
There are various ways to deal with a clogged toilet, from calling a toilet suction service to using cleaning chemicals. However, these solutions can be quite expensive and are not always practical. As an alternative, many people try simple tricks using more economical and easily found kitchen ingredients.
One method that is currently viral is using a mixture of coarse salt and cooking vinegar. This method is said to be effective in dissolving blockages in the drain without the need for caustic soda or other chemicals.

Reported from the YouTube channel banyualtar, this method only requires two main ingredients that are in the kitchen. The first step, sprinkle three tablespoons of coarse salt into the clogged toilet hole. Salt has abrasive properties that can help erode and loosen dirt that clogs the drain pipe.
Next, pour enough dish soap into the toilet. This soap serves to help lubricate the channel and facilitate the process of decaying dirt. After that, pour a quarter bottle of cooking vinegar into the toilet hole and let it react with the salt and soap.
Vinegar has strong acidic properties, so it can help dissolve dirt deposits in the toilet drain. This process can also reduce unpleasant odors that often arise due to clogged drains. Let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour for the mixture to work optimally.

After letting it sit, flush the toilet hole with clean water slowly. If there is still a blockage left, repeat this process several times until the water flows smoothly. In this way, the clogged toilet can return to normal function without having to call a toilet suction technician.
A netizen on YouTube shared his experience after trying this method. He admitted that he was skeptical at first, but the results were truly surprising. He said that after using salt and vinegar, the water in the toilet flowed smoothly again as before.
Before sharing this experience, he revealed that he had tried various other methods, but to no avail. According to him, using salt and vinegar is more practical than using toilet cleaning chemicals that often emit a pungent odor.
Many internet users are interested in trying this trick after seeing the results. In addition to being easy and cheap, this method is also more environmentally friendly than using caustic soda which can damage pipes in the long term. With ingredients available in the kitchen, a clogged toilet can be resolved without any hassle.
