Easy Ways Avoid a Clogged Toilet

There are a variety of plumbing nightmares that can cause you to lose sleep and really disrupt your daily routine. A backed up sink is a hassle, a toilet that won't stop running can be frustrating, and almost nothing is as irritating as a blocked toilet that requires a professional Toronto plumber. If you have ever experienced a plumbing disaster, there are some simple tips you can follow to prevent it from every occurring again!

Use a Small Garbage Can for Trash

Next to your toilet, place a small garbage can lined with either a small trash bag or one of those plastic bags that you get from the grocery store. With the trash being located next to the toilet, you are more likely to dispose of wet wipes, diapers, heavy tissues, and other non-toilet paper products properly. By using bags from the grocery store, your garbage can stays cleans.
Take this one step further and store unused bags under the bathroom vanity, or right next to your toilet paper, for easy access to replacement bags. The key is to make maintenance of the garbage can as easy as possible. By throwing these items in the trash, you are giving your plumbing system a break from being overloaded with products that don't break down as quickly as toilet paper.

Toilet Paper Tips to Promote a Healthy Plumbing System

Although you may prefer thick, cushioned toilet paper, the fact remains that the lighter the paper, the easier the breakdown. Lighter toilet paper prevents clogging of your plumbing system and toilet trap. You can also ease the burden on your plumbing system by attempting to use slightly less paper. Using one less sheet of toilet paper per person, per flush, equates to 36 less rolls of toilet paper used in a year.

Just Because You Can Doesn't Mean You Should

Other products that place a burden on your plumbing and sewer system include the latest disposable wipes being marketed as flushable. Other items that are physically flushable are Barbie Dolls, wash cloths, and golf balls. None of these items are healthy for your toilet or properly degradable and will add to the likelihood of clogged plumbing and overflowing toilets that require professional plumbing services.
A toilet is a lot like a car - proper care and maintenance and due diligence of what you put it into it will provide you with years of happy service. A little bit of respect can go a long way!
