Best stuff to clear a REALLY blocked toilet?
Whats the most evil stuff you can get that would shift what I think is one of my kidneys from around the U-bend? I`ve tried Mr Muscle, but he just wasn`t up to the job, and a coat hanger & plunger combination did nowt too.
Hope no-one`s eating reading this.

try syphoning it into the bath with a suitable length of hose, just don`t suck too hard....

RE: Best stuff to clear a REALLY blocked toilet?
errr....i`d really rather not try that! I was hoping there would be some wonder liquid that would work wonders for me.
RE: Best stuff to clear a REALLY blocked toilet?
No wonder liquid m8!!! You`re gonna have to squeeze your arm round the u-bend..!
RE: Best stuff to clear a REALLY blocked toilet?
Try a bit of hosepipe (long enough and flexable to get past the UBend) a few good prods & pushes shoud do it -
Also a Heavy duty plunger! - it worked for us.
Good Luck -

Neal,
I`m sure your blockage will clear, after all what`s the very very worst that could happen ?....................
Many years ago when friends were staying over Xmas and the couples daughter ( now in her 20`s ) was a few months old, a small disposable nappy was flushed down our loo by mother of said baby, assuming it would flush clear.
An hour later father of said baby ( Hello Brian in Saudi ) picked up Sunday Mail and announced he was going for a dump.
When half an hour later he very sheepishly reappeared and whispered that there was a slight problem, the whole stinking mess unfolded.
The nappy had stuck in the U bend and water, toilet paper and Brian`s deposits ( large and long ) were slopping over the top of the pan.
Despite prodding and pushing with bent wire coat hangers and eventually pushing my arm down through the "soup", it was impossible to dislodge, calling out a plumber on Xmas day was a non starter both on cost and availabilty, so I bit the bullet ( as it were ) and after emptying out the Brown Windsor soup ( with bits) I dismantled and stripped the pan out completely.
After at least a couple of hours in total the nappy was pulled out, the pan reassembled and two ladies who had been sitting with legs crossed could use the loo again ( Thank God for sinks, eh guys ! ) .
Not one of best Xmas days I`ve experienced, but certainly one of the most eventful and definitely the worst I`ve smelled on Xmas morning !!
P .;-))

mate of mine consumed enough vodka to drown a small army one new years.
passed out in the bath, blew chunks. what he regurgitated managed to shift the most obstinate of stains on the bath. when all his vomit was washed away, the bath looked like new.
not sure it would work on your toilet though...but would be entertaining to try, if you`re that way inclined.
RE: Best stuff to clear a REALLY blocked toilet?
I have this hilarious mental image of people poking a monster turd with a coat hanger, for fear that the beast will resurface and emerge from the toilet bowl in true 50`s horror movie fashion.

You could try alka seltzer, they are supposed to dissolve anything. And cola dissolves metal so it should polish off a poop in no time.

reminds me of a scene in `I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle` which I`m sure I saw once, but may have imagined it.
