Mobile Power Bank Falls into Toilet

If a mobile power bank falls into the toilet, you can first try to retrieve it yourself. If you are unable to remove it, contact a professional for assistance.

Self-Retrieval Methods

• When not fully submerged: If the mobile power bank falls into the toilet but is not fully submerged in water, and you find it dirty and do not want to touch it directly with your hands, you can prepare a plastic bag or some tissues. Wrap them around your hands and carefully pick up the mobile power bank. This approach not only avoids direct contact with the dirt but also prevents your hands from being scratched by any sharp edges that the mobile power bank may have.
• When fully submerged: When the mobile power bank is completely submerged in water, retrieving it directly with your hands may feel unhygienic or inconvenient. In this case, you can put on disposable gloves or wrap a plastic bag around your hands to increase the friction between your hands and the mobile power bank while also providing some isolation. Then, retrieve the mobile power bank.
• Using a spring and AB glue: You can also try a more special method. Apply a large amount of AB glue to a spring and then insert the glued spring into the drain, trying to make the spring stick close to the mobile power bank. Wait for 24 hours to allow the AB glue to fully cure, so that the spring and the mobile power bank are stuck together. After that, pull out the spring, and it is possible to remove the mobile power bank along with it. However, this method is somewhat difficult to operate and may not guarantee success.

Seeking Professional Help

If, after trying the above self-retrieval methods, you are still unable to remove the mobile power bank, or if the mobile power bank is a relatively large item and self-handling poses significant difficulties and risks, it is advisable to contact a professional plumbing repair person at this time. Professional plumbing repair personnel are equipped with drain endoscopes and specialized tools. The drain endoscope can penetrate deep into the interior of the drain to accurately locate the position of the mobile power bank, while the specialized tools can safely and effectively remove the mobile power bank according to the actual situation, avoiding further damage to the drain.
