Why This Works
The dish soap acts as a lubricant and degreaser, helping the clog slide through more easily. Combined with the force and heat of the water, it’s often enough to clear minor blockages — no plunger or harsh chemicals needed.
When to Try Something Else
This trick works best for light to moderate clogs caused by organic matter or too much toilet paper. For more serious blockages (like objects accidentally flushed), you may still need to use a plunger, plumbing snake, or call in a professional.
Final Thoughts
Before you panic or spend money on plumbing services, try this easy, budget-friendly method. It’s quick, simple, and might just save you from an awkward trip to the hardware store.
