If you want to pour a solution down a clogged toilet to help break up organic blockages, hot water mixed with liquid dish soap is one of the safest and most effective home remedies. Pouring a generous squirt of dish soap followed by a gallon of hot (not boiling, to prevent porcelain cracking) water down the bowl helps lubricate the pipe and soften toilet paper clumps. Avoid harsh acid-based chemical drain cleaners that can damage wax rings and pipes. Verification: Let the soapy water sit for 15 minutes, then attempt to plunge or flush the bowl.
