Dish soap has the ability to lubricate and break down the bonds of fats and grease. When poured into the toilet, dish soap helps lubricate the waste causing the clog, while also breaking down its structure, allowing it to easily flow down the drain.
Hydrogen peroxide is a mild, oxygen-based bleaching agent that can effectively remove accidental dye transfers (like color bleed) from fabrics and stains on skin or countertops. However, because it is a bleaching agent, it can strip the original color from dyed garments, so it should be used with caution.
Mixing baking soda and vinegar in a toilet creates a fizzy chemical reaction that releases carbon dioxide gas. While the bubbling action helps loosen mild grime and neutralize odors, it neutralizes both ingredients into simple salt water and is not strong enough to clear heavy toilet clogs.
Just as petroleum jelly will help to keep stains out, it can also effectively help to remove any that have happened anyway. Using a clean glove, wipe Vaseline onto the stained skin, then massage it into the skin. You may see the jelly turn the color of the dye.
