Page 6 | Coin down the toilet

My 3 yo ds put a coin down the toilet. It has been there a few days now. We can't retrieve it as it is quite far back & under. I've been putting bleach in every day to see if that would help but it just looks like a permanent poo stain. Has anyone got any remedies? Has it happened to anyone else?! Please say it has 🙈

I've tried fishing it out with the toilet brush but it seems to be stuck. The reason I put bleach in is because I thought it would take the brown stain away. But obviously the dye keeps coming off.

They don’t dye coins

turn the valve to the toilet off. flush to empty cistern. THEN put the full fat coke in and leave for a bit, then get in there again with a knife or flat head screwdriver

Yeah, do this.

I think OP has gone to shops to get some Coke or perhaps just live her life.

We await her return

Could you ask your housekeeper to retrieve it?

Ilikeadrink14 · 13/05/2025 14:48

Why won’t this annoying poster answer questions properly? She is really pi** ing me off now!

Flatbellyfella · 13/05/2025 14:48

Use your husband’s snooker cue to dislodge it.

Coins won't stick to a porcelain toilet.

Leave it until tomorrow and see if there's any change.

When I was younger I worked with a woman who said whenever she had a house share with lads she’d drop a penny in the loo. Apparently having a target improved their aim and kept the seats and floors cleaner. Maybe just leave it OP?

IaltagDhubh · 13/05/2025 15:06

Is it just me or is this thread starting to feel a bit like the old woman who swallowed a fly? If op follows all the helpful suggestions she’ll have a coin stuck to the loo, some bleach to dissolve the coin, a bunch more coins to push the first coin out, some full fat coke to disolve the copper coin glue, a loo brush, a tea towel, various tea spoons, screwdrivers, knives, and wooden spoons, some vinegar, a scuba diving toddler, a dog and a horse, all down the bog, while she tries to siphon out the water and replace it with sparkling spring water.

If you can see it, surely you can reach it…

It's unbelievable some of the people we encounter on here sometimes isn't it?

Mansionscoldandgrey · 13/05/2025 15:09

No poppadoms or bread
WTF?

Marigolds op.

Takes 3 seconds to fish it out.

I don't understand what you thought pouring bleach on it would do?

This. I don't see the problem.

You'll have to syphon the water out of the toilet bowl with a pipe at this advanced stage of stuck. Suck on the pipe to get the flow going initially. Once this is done add your full fat coke as others have suggested. This does risk creating a fat berg in your u bend but you'll have to risk it. The full fat coke will coalescence to form tiny hands to pick up the coin and hand it to you. Syphon the coke out with the same method as above and replace with still or sparkling water as is your preference. No papadums or bread down the toilet for a few days to be safe.

Sorry, I meant to quote this post

montelbano · 13/05/2025 15:13

Please don't use metal implements to try and lever the coin up. At best you could scratch the bowl, at worst, crack the bowl! Use a silicone spatula.

How interesting. I'm obviously very lazy. I'd just leave it there. One day a flush would dislodge it and I'd wistfully say goodbye.
