How To Unclog A Toilet?

If your toilet is clogged, here are some steps to try and unclog it:

Try a Plunger

Place the plunger over the drain hole and pump it up and down rapidly to try and dislodge the clog.

Use a Drain Snake/Auger

A drain snake or auger is a long flexible tool you insert down the drain to break up clogs further down the pipe. Twist it as you pull it back up.

Pour in Baking Soda and Vinegar

Pour 1/2 cup baking soda then 1/2 cup vinegar into the toilet bowl. The chemical reaction will bubble and may help break up the clog.

Last Resort - Remove the Toilet

If the above don't work, you may need to remove the entire toilet to access the clog from below. Wear gloves as the clog will likely be messy!
