No one particularly likes to talk about it, but it happens to everyone — having to deal with a clogged toilet. Regardless of the reasoning behind a clogged toilet, they’re certainly not pleasant to take care of. However, this hack will make the job quick, easy, and painless.

All you need for this hack is some liquid dish soap. That’s right — you don’t even need a plunger. Simply pour about half a cup of liquid dish soap into the toilet bowl. Let it sit for about 25 to 30 minutes.

When the time is up, fill a bucket with hot water. Pour the hot water into the toilet bowl, ensuring you’re not overflowing it.

The combination of the dish soap and hot water will lubricate the area of the clog, allowing it to pass through the plumbing. If this method doesn’t work the first time, you can try repeating the process.

Although this method won’t work for every clog, it’s definitely worth trying before spending lots of money on a plumber.
