At Argo Plumbing, your trusted Winnipeg plumbing experts, we’re sharing an easy home remedy using just salt and warm water. It’s safe, effective, and perfect for minor clogs caused by toilet paper or organic waste.

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:
