Why Salt and Warm Water?

Salt has natural abrasive and dissolving properties. When combined with warm water, it can help break down clogs and flush them through the pipes. It’s a simple DIY plumbing trick that’s gentle on your toilet and the environment. Step-by-Step: How to Unclog Your Toilet Naturally

What You’ll Need:

• 1 cup of table salt or Epsom salt

• 2 litres (about 8 cups) of warm water (not boiling!)

• Optional: 1/4 cup of liquid dish soap
  

• Wait 15–30 Minutes (or Overnight for Stubborn Clogs). Let the mixture work its magic.

• Flush the Toilet. If the water drains normally, you're all set! If not, try again or use a plunger.
  

💡 Winnipeg Plumbing Important Tip:

Avoid using boiling water — especially in cold climates like Winnipeg — as it can cause your toilet’s porcelain to crack. Stick with hot tap water, not boiling. Book Service or Request Online:
