Toilet Block - Bleach Block Cage

hazelcat · 25 Apr 2005

The bleach block holder has fallen into my toilet and disappeared. The water fills up at every flush and waste will not shift. Please help.[/b]

Use a metal coat hanger shaped as a hook & try to fish for it round the bend.
BTW Hi Hazel & welcome

Try using the biggest mop you can get your hands on as a plunger.

OK, I've tried the coat hanger technique. No sign of the bleach block and cage, but my toilet is filling normally again when I flush. Is this a good or a bad thing?
I was going to try removing the toilet bowl but I couldn't manage to switch off the water.
Should I call a plumber?

Those things are a device of evil. What is wrong with using bleach from a bottle?

now, repeat after me " I solemnly swear never to buy one of those wretched bleach block and cages ever, ever again, on pain of paying for an emergency callout by dynorod. I will tell everyone about my near toilet blocking experience and hope that they will learn from my bad luck."

I think she's served her time, sticking a coat hanger in a "waste"-filled toilet can't be pleasant.

Although doing it with a plastic bag over the hand is MUCH worse
