TikTok's Babs Shares Essential Guide to Unclogging Toilets
A recent viral video from popular TikTok duo "Brunch with Babs" is offering essential household advice on how to tackle a common plumbing predicament: a clogged toilet. The video, featuring Babs and Mr. Babs, provides a step-by-step guide designed to empower individuals with practical "adulting" skills. Babs initiates the tutorial by stressing the importance of immediate action to prevent overflow. "First, don't panic. If the water looks high, cut off the water at the supply while you work," she advises, demonstrating the location of the shut-off valve. Mr. Babs then presents an alternative for those without a traditional plunger. "If you don't have a plunger, try the soap method," he explains, detailing how a combination of dish soap and hot water can lubricate and loosen blockages after a 20-minute soak. For more stubborn clogs, Babs illustrates the correct use of a toilet plunger, distinguishing it from a sink plunger by its unique flange designed for a snug fit. She instructs viewers to ensure the plunger is fully submerged to create adequate pressure, performing "12 rapid pushes" to clear the obstruction. The video concludes with a reminder to restore the water supply. This practical guide offers valuable, easily implementable solutions for a frequent household issue, presented with a reassuring and friendly tone.
