How to Unclog a Toilet with Vinegar and Baking Soda

Here are the steps below:

1. Pour one cup of white vinegar into the toilet bowl. The vinegar will break down the clog by dissolving the materials that block the flow of water in the pipes.

2. Add one cup of baking soda. This will help neutralize any odors from the vinegar and create a bubbling action that will help push out any remaining blockages in the pipe.

3. Let this mixture sit for at least 15 minutes before flushing again.

There are some benefits to trying this method as you wait for a plumbing expert to remove the clog altogether.
