It can be mortifying to drop a load that will not flush. If it happens in at home, it becomes a disaster because someone has to be persuaded to fix this blockage. There are chemical methods available only if one can ignore inhaling nasty chemicals and long-term, accumulated environmental damage. So give three cheers for green ways to unclog a toilet they are the cheapest methods.

For lucky people, the floater might park like an ocean liner in a private bay. Resist the urge to plant a cocktail flag in it or hide it with paper, this will worsen the blockage.

But if a person is down on his luck, he faces a bowl that threatens to overflow. Turn off the inlet. If the toilet is missing this feature, whip off the cistern lid and push the circular rubber seal down to prevent water escaping. Do not stress at this stage, cistern water is the same as the kitchen tap water.

A plunger is what ‘real men’ go for. It can be dirty work. Ease the plunger’s cup into position to cover the outlet completely. Gently press it towards the hole. Let the air from the cup of plunger escape. Slowly pull and push a few times to ensure a good seal, and then thrust the plunger up and down quite quickly for about 20 seconds. It is a real art.

If anyone does not have or cannot face a plunger, the greenest ingredient they will ever find is patience. As moisture slowly penetrates the solids they will become softer. It is best to try the following suggestions in sequence unless someone is feeling very brave or has a strong stomach.

The ‘tap trick’ usually dislodges the culprit. Give a solid kick to the backside of the bowl. Do not break a foot or the bowl itself. Take a deep breath first and maybe dream up a ‘Plan B’ in the form of lots of absorbent, washable or recyclable cloths. Flush now and hope it works.

The next step is hot water. Pour a large bucket of hot water into the bowl, quickly and without splashing. Sometimes people put half a cup of dishwasher detergent into the bowl first, leave it to soak for 10 minutes and follow that up with hot water.

A lot of people try vinegar and baking soda (bicarbonate of soda). One cup of each ingredient clears blocked drains. Use the vinegar first and then pause for a couple of minutes. Perhaps it is wise to let the level in the bowl subside beforehand, so the mixture is less diluted.

Now for the messier green tips; rubber gloves or a toilet snake. Either way these will get to grips with the problem. There is no need to explain how to use the rubber gloves. People can buy snakes cheaply at their hardware stores and they are easy to use. A snake bores a hole in the offending item. It may need to be drilled a couple of times.

People may not feel like heroes after succeeding in meeting such challenges. If bragging does not console them, they could take comfort from the fact that they are now bona fide green warriors.

Are you ready for a trendy Bathroom? Are you ready for an indestructible, gleamingStainless Steel Toilet like the ones in your state prisons? Your bathroom(s) can be the envy of your social and professional friends because they only have porcelain toilets. The designer stainless steel ‘look’ of the kitchen is now migrating to the bathroom. The satin finish actually turns these toilets into design accessories. You too can have the best in classic bathroom fixtures just like the prisoners in your state.

Only those who have spent time in the ‘joint’ will be familiar with the advantages of a Stainless Steel Toilet. Probably none of your social or professional friends can testify to these advantages so we will help you a little. These toilets are very, very trendy with their cool metal gleam. (Interested in cool stainless steel bathtubs and sinks also?) They are designed to work with standard residential water and waste lines. These toilets have applications in both residential and commercial applications. They are designed to withstand physical abuse in public places and heavy duty traffic areas. And these Stainless Steel Toilets are designed to be sanitary. First they are seamless and that eliminates hard to clean crevices. Additionally, seamless welds eliminate cracks or seams that can be pried open and damage the toilet. Second, the flushing rims of the toilet are self draining which eliminates lavatory overflows.

Stainless steel is an ideal material for bathroom use and it is the perfect material for a toilet. Our Stainless Steel Toilets are constructed of commercial grade heavy duty stainless steel for greater structural integrity. They are engineered for industrial, commercial and residential use and are built to last a lifetime. They are virtually indestructible, rustproof, mold and bacteria resistant, tamper resistant and vandal resistant. Stainless steel is a material that provides a hygienic surface and there are NO pores for the accumulation or growth of dirt or bacteria. It is easily cleaned with common household cleaners. The valves, flow controls and piping are internal / integral to the unit. There are no exposed fasteners, filler material or other removable equipment. And there are no rigid hooks, bars, rough edges, seams, or projections for children (or prisoners) to remove for any reason. This makes them safe for parents (and security personnel).

Commercial applications for our Stainless Steel Toilets include hotel lobbies, restaurants, cafes, public parks, hospitals, theaters, shopping malls, executive suites and many others. Clean, hygienic bathrooms are demanded by today’s customers and stainless steel projects the image of cleanliness and advanced technology. In addition, building owners and designers are more aware of the long term costs of vandalism. Stainless Steel Toilets are extremely durable and cannot be easily destroyed like porcelain toilets. If your application is residential then a Stainless Steel Toilet would be an attractive feature in an ultra modern bathroom.

There are several models of Stainless Steel Toilets from which to choose. Many of our models are ADA compliant and feature a height of eighteen inches from floor to top of seat. And our toilets feature low water consumption and flood disabling capability.
