The Bottle Method: A Budget-Friendly Technique for Shiny Toilets

When faced with a toilet blockage without a plunger, a plastic bottle can come to your rescue:

Cut off the bottom of a quart bottle and save the cap.

Place the cut bottom on the bottom of the bowl and move it back and forth like a suction cup. This technique can be effective for minor blockages.

Cleaning the Toilet Floor with a Plastic Bottle

Plastic bottles can also serve as effective cleaning tools for the toilet floor:

Mix warm water with a natural cleaner like white vinegar or a lemon juice and baking soda mixture.

Pour the solution into a plastic bottle, then close and pierce the cap.

Aim the bottle at the toilet floor and gently squeeze to spray the cleaning solution.
