I have two toilets giving me problems.
The first toilet had dental floss accidentally flushed down it. A few days later it was clogged up. I can only assume it had to do with the Dental floss. We plunged it and it works but the water fills up and goes down really slow. Could someone tell me why or what to do.
Toilet number two:
My kids were playing with wipes in the bathroom. I did not think they flushed the but a couple of hours later the bathroom was used and it has been clogged ever since. It fills up but takes hours and hours to go down. We have plunged it and used an auger. I even put Dawn dishing washing soap in it. I had read that somewhere. Any other suggestions?

Hello crazymamma, from what your describing the problem with the two toilets could be related, if the floss got hung up in the line then its possible that the wipes also got hung up on the floss creating the slow flush, in which case plunging is not going to solve your problem. I would have a plumber rooter out your sewerline to make sure that the floss isn't causing the problem with the toilets. Then the toilets would be the next items to check out if the sewerline checks out o.k. good luck-----Zeke
