Help with flushed washcloth!

[Jillibean]

Okay, I don't care about the washcloth I just want the toilet unstopped. My kiddo decided it would be fun to flush a washcloth. It could even be 2 or 3 or.....who knows. How can I get them out without calling a plumber and without sticking my actual hands in there....EEWWWW. Is there a tool for this? Thank the Lord we have 2 more toilets in this house that work!

OH no! Not what you want to hear..but my GF, while cleaning someones house, poured out her bucket water into the toilet & forgot there was a rag in with it...they had to go the plumber route..

Sorry had to laugh at this one, it reminded me of the time my daughter decided to dump cat litter into the toilet:shrug7: I was SO MAD at the time, but now I look back at it and laugh, we tried everything, ended up having to have the plumber fix it

(Glad to hear my daughter isn't the only one in the world who decided to flush something down the toilet)

Two of my DD flushed a golf ball. Don't ask me how they managed it but they did. Daddy had to take the tolet off to get it out.

I would try a wire hanger. I'm no plummer but maybe you can grab it with the hook part.

Do not use drain cleaner of any kind in dangerous for plumber and you. Bail out excess water. You can make an obstruction hook out of a hanger and try to snag the washcloth if you know it is stuck in the toilet.You can try an auger or plumbing snake. If the washcloth went into the drains the toilet will have to come off. Clog in main stacks and you can't see below your toilet... it's plumber time.

Oh poor you - this may be an expensive one - good luck getting it out!

do you have a all occasion rental center?? My DD dropped a washrag down ours and we rented some kind of tool from them and the clog was gone in no time.

When my daughter decided she needed a whole package of flushable wipes to get herself clean we used a snake to unclog the pipes. It was not easy because there were so many wipes to grab before the clog cleared, but it worked.

Oh no. Sorry that happened to you. Maybe your child was watching that stupid commercial where the guy puts all the dog food, candles, towels, etc. in the toilet so he can call the hot plumber. I HATE that commercial!! We were watching AFV and some kid flushed his flashlight down the toilet. I remember seeing my 4 yo ds eyes light up while he was watching. He thought it was hilarious when she turned off the lights and the toilet was lit up. I had to explain twice that what they were doing would break our toilet and cost a lot of money to fix. I can only hope I got through to him because we only have one bathroom!!

Thanks everyone! I'll try the coat hanger first. Of course my husband is gone when this stuff happens. Wonder if he can get out of going to Iraq because of this. LOL I have left a message for my cousin's husband about my problem and he is really good at home improvement stuff. I feel pretty confident that if I can't fish it out with a coat hanger, he will know what to do. I know I will look back at this and laugh one day, but I wanted to ring her little neck that day.
