1. Locate the blockage
If the blockage can be seen and removed, put on a pair of rubber gloves and remove the cause of your toilet clog. If the blockage cannot be seen, try experimenting with these different methods!
2. Dishwashing detergent and hot water
To begin this clearing method, get a bucket and fill it with dishwashing liquid and hot water. Pour the mixture into the toilet and let it sit in there for five minutes before flushing to avoid getting suds on surfaces around you or near windows that face the outside!
3. Use a plunger to unclog a toilet
Find a heavy-duty plunger with an attached flange and place its base on top of the toilet bowl before inserting it into the water so it’s completely submerged while slowly pressing down to remove anything stuck inside! Repeat.
4. Coat hanger method
An old wire hanger is the simplest way to unclog a toilet. Hook the blockage near where it’s lodged, not as far down your drain as you might think! This technique works best when the distance between you and the obstruction is less than 10cm.
5. For deeper blockages, use a plumbing snake/auger
A plumbing “snake” is a fantastic tool for removing stubborn toilet blockages. Its flexible wire can easily twist and turn through pipes, making it very effective in locating deep clogs that may have resisted all of your previous attempts to unblock them!
