OUR TIP: Incidentally, it also works very well with a clogged sink or shower! 4.) pipe cleaning spiral for the clogged toilet Very good alternative to the suction cup! Pipe cleaning spirals are needed when a blockage sits deep in the channel or pipe and is very difficult to reach. Ask at the hardware store for a suitable spiral for a clogged toilet. These steps should be followed: 1.) Carefully insert the spiral into the drain pipe directly at the drain. Please make sure that you do not put too much pressure on it. To prevent damage to the pipe. 2.) With a little pressure, then turn the spiral through the drainpipe. By the constant rotation, you gradually get deeper into the clogged pipe. 3.) Do this until a resistance (blockage) is felt. Due to the special form (claw-shaped) of the spiral, it bores itself through the blockage. If your spiral is stuck, turn slowly in the opposite direction. When you have loosened the resistance, slowly turn the spiral out again. 4.) Rinse the pipe thoroughly afterward. so that the remaining residues can be flushed out through the sewage system. You can also do that twice or three times. |
