    virgin sulfuric acid drain cleaner
    I did a really stupid thing the other day! Emptied a few jars of outdated homemade mixed pickled vegetables down the toilet, flushing once after each jar was emptied. Now, the pipe is plugged.

    First I used a good plunger with the extension on the cup. Then I used an auger, which also didn't work. I assumed the clog was further down the piping.

    I gradually used a bottle of "White Lightning" (virgin sulfuric acid) for the first time and poured some about 4 or 5 times from the one bottle, waiting about 30 minutes instead of the 15 recommended..

    Tried the auger again and more water eventually goes down, but the pipe is still not cleared.

    I bought two more bottles of "White Lightning", and just poured about half a bottle down this time.

    Any suggestions, or do I need to call a plumber?

    Thanks for any help.
    Irene
