A clogged toilet is something that you can prevent. Through proper flushing practices, you can ensure the topnotch performance of your toilets. But if things go array, you can count on us to extend a helping hand. Here are some tips on how to prevent a clogged toilet:

 

Practice Mindful Flushing

The simplest way to prevent clogs is to practice proper flushing. This means becoming more mindful of the things that you flush down the toilet drain.

If you are flushing toilet paper, make sure you are flushing the right amount. A good rule of thumb is you can flush anything that comes from your body. Anything beyond which is not toilet paper is a no-no.

For starters, you can make a list of the things that cannot flush in your toilet. Place the list against your bathroom wall where you can easily see it.

Clear the Tanks

Never use the toilet tank as extra counter space. Avoid placing items like soap, tissue paper, and brushes on top of the toilet tank. You may accidentally knock down these items into the bowl.

Do Not Delay

If you experience a weak flush or a slow drain, address the matter accordingly. Never leave the situation idle for a long time before making a move.

Regular Cleaning a Must

Always clean your toilet regularly. Though this involves more on the aesthetics side of things, cleaning your toilet helps you spot potential leaks faster.
