How do you dissolve a massive toilet-blocking poo?

[SilkStalkings]

That's it really, dd's constipation is back. My first thought is washing up liquid perhaps, to work on the fat particles. Can't face going at it with a knife just yet.

[ripsishere]

Big bucket of water tipped from as high as you can manage.

[DukeHumfrey]

If you have another loo, leave it 24 hrs and then flush a few times again. It will start to break up.

[redlac]

Bleach and a kettle full of boiling water

[pmgkt]

Loo cleaner and leave, it will disolve it.

[SilkStalkings]

Ah hot water! Has been soaking in loo cleaner all night to no avail. Thanks all.

do you have a bread stick?

poke it with a breadstick then you can let the breadstick mush up in the water - saves the whole haveing to poke it then remove the poking impliment.

I did it when petitie 3yr old child did a MASSIVE shite.

disclaimer - I have no idea if flushing a mushed up bread stick down the toilet will break your toilet.

Hi - tried and tested - you may need to break down with wire coat hanger first buy put two dishwasher tabs or a scoop of laundry detergent - add boiling water - leave for as long as possible - now get on rubber gloves and a trusty mop (you will need to replace the Mop head after) and use the mop like a plunger - have a plastic bag (with no holes ) nearby for quick removal of mop head - job done

Hope it works for you - this had worked many times when all else had failed - especially if loo not draining! And almost flooding!

keep us updated - its like bobble plate in reverse

[3littlefrogs]

A large scoop of biological washing powder.

Put the lid down and go and do something else for an hour.

Flush.

[Sloobreeus]

Washing soda (a 1kg bag from the supermarket costs pennies). A few handfuls down the lav plus some very hot water (say a washing-up bowl full). Leave for a hour or two, then flush.

[SilkStalkings]

Hot water skimmed a few milimetres off the top, 3hrs with a dishwasher tab has done nothing. It's now soaking in Cillit Bang because that stuff corrodes stainless steel, surely it can make a dent in a poo? Even one that must have damaged the space-time continuum in order to teleport from my tiny, tiny 9yr old. Maybe I should just reverse the polarities, that always works in Star Trek.

[SilkStalkings]

Will start poking it with rice cakes next (got no breadsticks).

[shrimponastick]

One of DSSs used to do this all the time. Bucket of hot water poured from a height used to work eventually.

The other DSS used to block it using excess toilet paper. I swear - that kid must have used almost a whole roll once - no wonder it got stuck...

If you reeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaalllly felt brave you would just stick your hand in

at poking with rice cakes

[bonzo77]

open up a wire coat hanger and poke at it a bit. flush then poke again. repeat till poo had gone to pooland. wipe hanger with bog roll to prevent drips then put straight into outside bin.

[foofooyeah]

a lot of bleach usually works in our house but this sounds like a particularly resistant poo!

[EnjoyResponsibly]

Wire coat hanger, chop into segments in manner of cheese, flush loo, BIN HANGER!

[SkinnyVanillaLatte]

Hand blender?

[RightUpMyRue]

A breadstick to tackle a massive poo?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Love MN sometimes.

[SkinnyVanillaLatte]

Seriously,can you direct it with the loo brush so its head-on to the bowl,so its got a fighting chance of shooting down without getting stuck sideways on.

A kind of bizarre twist on poo sticks......

[frankie4]

Blow up a carrier bag and use it as a plunger - I got this advice a few years ago from mn!

[BonkeyMollocks]

Pmsl at poking poo with breadsticks!!

[topsyturner]

Skinny
at hand blender !!!

[LeonardoAcropolis]

Chop it up with an unravelled wire coat hanger, a little piece of you may die in the process but it should work.

[FunnysInLaJardin]

'break it's back with a coat hanger' according to Julia on Nighty Night
