    Chlorox tablet stuck in toilet
    I have a new chlorox bleach tablet that is stuck in the toilet bowl, is there any way to dissolve it?
    I can't move it with plunger or snake

    One idea would be to run over to home depot and pick up a closet auger (see picture). Use this tool to push through the tablet and then try pulling back forcefully to remove...

    I would prefer to see you remove this instead of dissolve it as it may dissolve only slightly and then fall further into the toilet or even the main drain line and cause more issues for you.

    Have you tried to just reach in and remove the tablet..?

    Let me know what you think...

    Break it up into little pieces with a closet auger,(see image) and either pick it out of the bowl or flush it away. Good luck, Tom We did it agai!! Posted on top of each other. We gotta stop meeting like this!!
