    Drop in clog
    My boyfriend claims my blue drop-in clogged our toilet. I, on the other hand totally disagree, so I am asking your opinion, did my blue drop-in clog our toilet? Please end our daily argument...

    How could it clog, it dissolves? You do mean a deodorant drop in, don't you?

    The only thing I have ever seen with a drop in tablet is that it can move and affect the flush valve, it would not clog but keep running. Tell us exactly what your toilet does when you try to flush it.

    Some times they drop down and, as MA sez, it will be sucked in the flush opening and hang up the flapper so the tank never fills. Cheers, Tom
