I’ve had success with just dish soap - it makes blockages “slide” more easily.
In the last flatshare I lived, I had a particularly annoying combination of a slow toilet and a flatmate incapable of solving any blockages. Whenever I’d see that, I’d go “fuck this”, squirt a silly amount of Fairy in the bowl (I’m talking like 100 ml at least) and usually the blockage would resolve itself overnight.
How does the hot water and soap help?
It won’t taste as bad when it splashes back into your mouth.
I’m guessing it’s to break down the fat / grease in the poop.
The hot water will speed up the reaction, with the added benefit of possibly expanding the pipe just enough to make a difference.
Just a guess, though!
