Have you ever wondered how to dislodge a makeup brush from toilet pipes?? Well today is your lucky day! Our handsome handyman Clint has laid out 3 easy steps so that we can all do this at home. WARNING!!This is not for the faint of heart...it is pretty nasty!
All of the tools are household items that anyone can use: a wooden spoon, the long side of a plastic hanger, a small flashlight and a mask.
Step 1: Unbolt the toilet and put it in the bathtub.
Step 2: Use your tools to dislodge the brush (this may take some creativity swapping tools to maximize efficiency).
Step 3: Put the toilet back in its original spot and VOILA!! Your toilet is as good as new! 
PLEASE REMEMBER to use rubber gloves...because its nasty!! Just so you know, we threw away all of the tools (except the flashlight) and the brush.

Your header is adorable! And congrats on the retrieval of your make-up brush :) You guys are so handy.
Dudes, nice new logo.
Uh, ... did you throw away the tub, too? No baths for little Gidds for a while now, eh?
So, ... just exactly how'd the brush wind up IN the pipes?
I keep telling Lauren to close the toilet LID, just to avoid such mishaps. You should ask her how I try to motivate her to close it more often, haha.
Clorox cleaned the tub (pretty good for setilization). Riss just felt like throwing it in there so she could create this post.:) But seriously, the brush was the perfect length to go up the first bend and get lodged in the second.
Lesson learned...Close the lid, if not, at least don't throw anything in there wifey.
hahaha what great pictures and what an intense repair job! This is more motivating than anything Jas has tried to get me to shut the lid of the toilet! Was this his idea? Is this part of an elaborate plan? Are those pictures real? hehe...
Usually it is the guy that leaves the lid up I think the fault falls back on the one who had to fix his mistake in the first place. Haha Clint
hey clint i know how to fix that too:
1. call a plumber
2. go outside when he arrives
3. dont go back in until hes done
but hey, i fix things like that my own way...
