2) Insert plunger into the bowl and press down firmly but slowly. Make sure you’re covering the hole completely. The plunger should be submerged in water to be effective. It is important to be pushing and pulling with water not air. Add water to the bowl if necessary. Sharply pull up on the plunger to create suction in the drain, then push in to create pressure. Remember, the clog got jammed going in, so don’t be too aggressive with your pushing because you might just jam it further. It is more the suction than the pressure, constantly disturbing the clog in both directions that will gradually cause it to be loosened. If the plunging eventually drains the bowl but the clog is still blocking a free flow down the drain, leave the plunger in the bowl and fill the bowl with water again. Fill it to the point it is normally after a regular flush. Then plunge again.Stubborn clogs might require you to do this a number of times.

Plumbing Snake Method

A snake (also sometimes called a “flexible cleaning tool” or “auger”) is a flexible coil of wire that can “snake” through the curves of a drain and get deeper than a wire can. The best snake is a “closet auger” which is designed specifically to clear toilet clogs without damaging or staining the bowl. A plumber would likely use a closet auger.

1  Using a plumbing snake to unclog the drain.Insert one end of the snake into the drain and push down, feeding the snake further into the drain until you feel an obstruction.2Twist and push the snake through the obstruction until the water begins to drain.3Snake in reverse. It may become necessary to remove the toilet and run the snake through in the opposite direction. This is especially true with hard obstructions that may have been flushed by a curious child. If a hard obstruction is known, and you are not comfortable removing and replacing the toilet, contact a plumber.
Vacuum MethodIf you have tried plunging, and tried snaking to no avail consider using a wet/dry vacuum.

1Empty the water out of the bowl using the vacuum.2Place the end of the hose a few inches into the drain. Use just the flexible hose; no attachments. Use old towels to create a seal around the drain.3Turn on the vacuum and push pressure on the towels to create a good seal. There’s a good chance the vacuum can suck out the clog.
Enzymes MethodThis is not a fast method and will only work on organic waste (not objects or hair). But overnight, it can clear a toilet.

1Get a product that contains a mixture of enzymes that “eat” waste materials. Products of this sort can be usually be purchased at home improvement stores in or near the plumbing aisle. These enzymes are used in septic systems to break down waste.2Follow the instructions on the container.Ads by Google

Baking Soda and Vinegar MethodPour one box of Baking Soda <the size normally placed into a refrigerator to take care of odors> into the bowl of the toilet. Then slowly begin to pour a medium sized bottle of vinegar <any kind will do> into the bowl of the toilet. You must pour slowly, and pause adding the vinegar when it begins to foam up. The baking soda and vinegar create a chemical process that help to dissolve clogs, it is a slow process, but it works pretty well. Once the entire bottle of vinegar is poured into the bowl, let it set for a few minutes. Then add a gallon of hot tap water into the toilet bowl, it helps the baking soda and vinegar to do it’s job. If you can, let this sit overnight, Repeat if necessary.

Chemical MethodIf nothing else works, you can try a drain-cleaning chemical. They’re available at most grocery, hardware, and “big box” stores. These chemicals are harsh on the environment, so try to avoid using them if possible. If you suspect that there is a hard obstruction, do not use a chemical solution; use a snake or call a plumber. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and to use only chemicals that are specifically listed for toilets.
